Well, here we are another year later (or close to it). Am I another year wiser? I hope so. Almost as much as I hope I'm another year closer to retirement. So, yeah, I was downsized at my last company - the cushy I.T. job at the training company. Me and about 5 other people - most of us old and "making big bucks".
That's OK. When God closes a window He opens a door. I'm now working as a bonafide DBA at a small privately funded software company. I am hopeful that we can get our product out the door in the time-frame we have committed to our customer. The nice part about this company is that most of the people are terrific. And the work is challenging (not necessarily the technical work but the negotiating, management, training, and business aspects of the work).
This is probably the most diverse group of people I've worked with since my days at the semiconductor company. Lots of non-Euro/Americans! Lots of technical and management 30-somethings who are just beginning to think they are flat out geniuses to be in the software development business. Wow!! Just think! We actually get paid to twitter and send text messages from our iPhones and Blackberrys
