A couple of months ago, I took a position at a company that tailors
|
||
Microsoft SharePoint solutions. The business model was very strong
|
||
(and successful), the work was challenging, and there was lots of
|
||
opportunity. At the end of the day though, I just couldn't get past
|
||
one thing: Microsoft and.NET. This is not stuff that I wanted to
|
||
spend the rest of my life. The company offered very generous
|
||
compensation for Microsoft Certification – but what good does that
|
||
do me? I could do it, but it would only be for the money. I love
|
||
working with software of all kinds, but the development I was doing
|
||
did not sharpen my skills in any way. So, I decided that the longer
|
||
I stayed, the more I would simply be delaying my leaving. So
|
||
another opportunity came up, and I decided to take it. I am now a
|
||
developer working with PHP, Symfony, Java, Groovy, Grails, Apache,
|
||
and more. The list grows every day. Now life is good. It's never
|
||
been better in fact.
