Great company, great people, and the office was at the PDC so whenever I walked into and out of the office tehre were always beautiful woman walking about. Unfortunatly there were no full time positions there, and I ended up moving back to my home town of St. Louis in September. Now I work as a resaerch lab assistant in a neurology lab at Washington University in St. Louis. I hate my job. Its kind of interesting at times, but I hate working in a lab. Most of the time though, I don't have anything to do, so I really can't complain because I'm being paid to sit infront of the computer and do whatever. But I've decided, I am moving back to LA in May. I just need to make sure i have a job there.... Anyone know of any companies hiring?

doing what? i work at a civil engineering firm but we also have lots of environmental stuff we do.

I am the Team Lead for Marketing Support & Operations at Option One Mortgage. I love my job. I get to spend the company's money on trade shows and events and I get to tell people what to do.

you mean what do i do at my job now?

(mainly genotyping and slicing up rat and mouse brains)

or


what job am i looking for?

(really anything. I actually am very interested in working at any company that is involved in envirnmental work, ie renewable power, waste management etc, since the environment and climate change are issues that i'm very interested in. i also really like anything that has to do with advertising. i'm pretty much open to anything tho. i have a health sciences background as i was pre-med, but i'm not sure if i want to go into medicine yet. the only thing i don't want to do is anything involved in sales.)

I'm about 5 minutes from that campus. That's where our Servicing Division is located. I work at the other campus off Barranca.

haha nice. i work at alton and technology.

montie: what do you want to do out here? we do lots of environmental cleanup and a lot of stuff that has to do with the environmental aspect of construction.

Love my job! But I hate idiots who know nothing tell me how to do my job. That should have gone on the Vent thread but fuck it.

I don't have a paying job

I am a full time grad student and I go out on the weekends (either Friday or Saturday).

I am not too sure if I want a job. I like that I can just focus on studying, but it would be nice to have some money coming in.

haha, I just wanted to reply to this thread.)

I work for an Enterprise Search company in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as a software developer/customer solutions guy. No it's not google (although they keep trying to hire me).

I don't love my job, but I am tolerating it. In fact at times I deal with a lot of b.s. because I am working in a developing country, and the rules are different here. Everyone kisses the boss's ass, overdresses, works long hours, ignores their personal life and significant others. It's a sub-serviant environment, and the office can be chauvanistic at times. It's especially difficult being the gringo, as there is higher expectations of me. It's not what I am used to having worked in Silicon Valley for 10 years, but I'm getting experience working abroad which is invaluable, and it's the most humbling experience of my life (especially taking the bus in Sao Paulo for two hours a day!)

But I moved out here to be with my girlfriend until she finishes her phd, and I was lucky to even find a job here paying 60-70% of my US salary, so for that I am grateful. Also I am getting to live in Brazil for a year or two, improve my Portuguese, and I know I am going to hate it when I move away!

I'm already starting to look for a new position for 2008 after she graduates. It's a 80% likelyhood we re-locate to the bay area - so if anyone knows of cool places to work, let me know! The other option is Amsterdam - yes, Amsterdam - as my girlfriend wants to pursue a postdoc there working for a well-know researcher. I hope I can find work there if that happens, but I am sure my weekends would be filled.

I enjoy DJing too, I've plade a few parties here in Sao Paulo, and I am working with some friends to throw something at a club at Sao Paulo, there are a lot of opportunities here!
