Good News, everybody!

Posted in Work by Will on February 10, 2008.

Last week I got made an offer that I couldn’t refuse. 

Massive - the company that I’ve been working for as a contractor through the nice folks at Happener since November - offered me a full time position. I accepted, and I’m now a Senior Developer for Massive Interactive

That title sounds strange to me. Senior developer? Does that mean I’m over the hill now?
I suppose it’s somewhat similar to when I say I’m a .NET Developer, non-tech people generally go “Oh, you build websites”… not quite. (Hint: It’s a speciality in a certain set of technologies. Like saying you’re a Pediatric Nurse.)

Part of the role as a senior developer is to help provide direction to the more junior staff, so, that should be interesting to see how it works out.

Not much else has been happening - I’ve been busy with work for the most part. I’m still enjoying it, obviously.  It’s nothing like working for Telstra, which for me. is a really good thing.

What’s news with you folks?

    Hey Will,

    As sad as we are to no longer have one of our favourite contractors, we are exceptionally happy for you - we think that Massive is a great place for you to continue learning and to play with nifty technologies.

    See you around the traps and congrats again!

    Cheers,
    MH

    Except that, well, you ARE still working for Telstra :)

    Congrats though, Massive is a good place to work - most of the time, and you get to work on some awesome stuff and work with some great people. But you know all that!
