I have not posted a blog for a good while now, but not without good reason. If you are keeping up with this blog you will know that recently I have been doing interviews to make a living wage, which is difficult these days. Luckily, of the companies I was interviewing with I landed the position with my first pick. Which surprised me because I felt like I flopped on the technical.
The good news is that I now have a great position with what seems to be a great company. They were transparent about the budget for the position and do not seem to mind training me on how to contribute to a team since most of my projects have been built entirely by myself. This is cool because I will learn a ton with this company and hopefully "level up" my development skills. I start on the 27th of this month and am excited about the opportunity. Until I start I have been trying to refresh some of the skills that they informed me were to be used on the job. I sent an email asking if there was anything else I could do to prepare. I got an email back that said "yeah", "enjoy your time off before you start work". This only made me feel better about going with this company.
As for the New Year's resolution, I have one more shot before the year is up. I figure it will take a couple of months to build another piece of software I am proud of and I can market. Then it will take even more time to market it effectively and make it profitable. So, essentially I got one more try to make this work. I have a few ideas but have not cemented which I will go with; honestly, with the interviews and the new job about to start, I have not been thinking too hard about it. That will all change soon though. I committed to this resolution and I am anything but a quitter. So even if I fail (which is much more likely than succeeding, lol) I will see it through and give it my best.
