Hey guys.

Contrary to popular opinion, I do not work at Wal#mart or Office Depot.

I got a new job which starts on monday (may5).

I work in computer programming and am switching from sql developer to Java Architect. (I've done lots of java in the past just not in the last year or so when I was doing sql.)

In the development world architect means you're "a big deal". Though I despise making hierarchies fixed, I am glad to get the step up. I'm tired of being a low level grunt. It is possible however that this is just titular inflation and a I will still be a low level grunt. I will find out in the next couple weeks.


I consider you guys to be somewhat of a pseudo-family to me. SO I wanted to share.

The new place is very big brothery, but I must infiltrate the system to tear it down from the inside -- Famous last words of those who BECOME THE SYSTEM. YIKES!

Pray for my soul.
 
Good Lord...........

Good luck AH. Is the new environment dominated by Indians ?

btw we are getting ready to switch from Informix to another system, I am not sure which one yet.
 
I think the US IT industry is dominated by Indians now.
A really amazing 10-15 yr transition.
Pretty much brought about about by H1b Visas.

Corporations prefer employees dependant upon them for their visa status, or those more accustomed to a more abusive, hierarchical culture.

Yup, the new workforce of the 21'st century we have heard spoken of.

However in a few more years I am not sure who will be controlling who.
