More Details

Well, I just got back from the new office, where I was given the grand tour of the facility. I must say, I was impressed. Its quite a complex operation. Even the building itself was labyrinthian in design. Software support, implementation, hardware distribution and repair. They have a whole warehouse full of parts just waiting to be used, and a whole staff dedicated to delivering and installing them. A multitude of development and staging rooms, not to mention servers sitting right on the backbone. The biggest technology company I’ve been a part of consisted of ten employees, so this company pretty much floored me. Which was good, because from the outside it seems like a tiny office building. I didn’t want to go through another situation of being laid off as a tiny company folded in on itself.

So, I liked what I saw, and they made me an offer. I am currently holding an official-looking document, and I must say, I’m pleased with what I see.

Here’s a summary:

35% pay increse from what I’m making now
Health, Dental, and Optical insurance (w00t)
401(k) plan

And an additonal 10% raise upon the completion of my MCP certification. Which, incidentely, is paid for, books and all, by Sentinel.

I must say, in a very Mr. Burns-ish voice, “I grudgingly accept.”

I need to call their HR person to hammer out the tiny details and then I can submit my resignation. I have one very exciting thing to say about that…

So long, cubicle heads!

I know, I’m sure you’re getting tired of me thrusting my good fortune in your faces, I promise my next post will be about something awful.

Zel-kun out.
