The Hunt for a new contract.
Ξ June 15th, 2007 | → | ∇ Blog |
One of the wonders of being a consultant is that sooner or later your contract is up. That day appears to be happining for me in the next few months. The project I’ve been working on is nearing an end and while JP Morgan Chase is budgeted for me until September, I might be released sooner since a lion’s share of the work has been completed. While this tends to worry some people, I get excited. This is the part that I truly love about consulting. At the moment I’m talking to a number of companies, to see what I want to do next .. and where I want to do it. Every few months I get to work with different people doing something .. well .. different. JP Morgan Chase has been great. I’ve had a nice manager there, and the other guy on my team was pleasent as well.
I’ve been talking to companies in Ct, Manhattan, and even Long Island. They’re mostly financial and insurance companies, but it’s seriously been all over the place. The gigs have been management, development and systems engineering positions. *shrug* Like I’ve said .. no rhym or reason to it all. It’s a great market to be looking for a new gig though. It’s been a 50/50 mix of full-time gigs and more consultant gigs. I guess when the right thing comes along I’ll know it.
Aside from looking for a new gig, nothing much has been going on since I got back from San Diego. Rosie finished classes for the summer, and we’re trying to map out a few vacations for ourselves.
ooh .. also a reminder .. FATHERS DAY IS ON SUNDAY; in case any of you forgot. I’m personally not very good at remembering things like that. Birthdays, Mothers Day, Fathers Day .. all seem to pass me by. I can be oblivious to the entire thing. I’d forget Valentines day if I didn’t have searing memories etched into my mind for forgetting. Now I’m to scared to forget that one. I’ve often said fear is a great motivator.
