New Year, New Job, New Beginnings

While I've known about this for a couple of weeks now, the proverbial ink dried on the contract earlier today so I'm able to officially say that I have scored an amazing position with a local marketing firm: Hawkeye | Cohesion.  I will, of course, be doing mainly .Net development...what's icing on the cake is that this isn't a traditional IT job; the products developed for clients are outward facing, and run the gamut of application types.  It'll be a refreshing change from IT as this company is first and foremost a creative firm and thus promote and encourage that type of thinking.  Huge plus.

The company itself is based out of Seattle, but has a group of about 50 folks here in Charlotte, with the intention being to ramp up a larger technical team locally which is something I'll be involved in as well.  The office itself is literally dripping with creativity...exposed ductwork, fantastic views of uptown Charlotte, a game room...a comfortable working environment is one of the top items on my list.  They'll do nicely.

This is also a fulltime salaried position...I've been doing the contract/consulting gig virtually my entire career; it'll be nice to settle down, especially with a company like this.  So anywho, I (officially) start on Monday and am beyond excited about this opportunity.  I will of course be posting more details as I get settled in.  Yippee!

Congratulations Jayson :-)

I think those bad chances have left your life after 2-3 years and this is really great.

Good luck my friend :-)

About Jayson Knight

Jayson Knight was clueless to the computer programming world until he took a C++ class in college. The rest is proverbial history. He has been building applications targeting the .Net framework for 7 years, focusing mainly on internet technologies and database driven web application development.

Most recently he left the world of Corporate IT to finish up his degree in Chemistry, with an eye on Medical School and an Anesthesiology residency program. Read this post for more information.

He is also a Community Server MVP: Community Server is the software that runs this site, plus many others on the web. For more information, check out http://csmvps.com.

When he finds time to pry himself away from his computer and university studies, he can be found on the mountain bike trails when it's warm, and on the ski slopes when it's cold.
