After serving (2 weeks short of) 3 years at Novell, I finally decided it was a good time to move-out into other areas in my industry. My last day with them was on August 17th 2007. I really enjoyed working for the company. I think the best thing about it was the people I worked with. There are some really good, friendly and helpful people currently working there. It was probably the hardest thing to leave behind. But alas, I can't build a career off friendship.
My time there served to highlight a divergence in where I wanted my career to head. Unfortunately, the opportunities offered by Novell were not as forthcoming as I would have liked. Even if they were, I did not feel comfortable due to what I perceived as a lack of a support network in the areas I wanted to develop my skills.
Thankfully, I was able to seek assistance and guidance from a good friend of mine. He gave me the encouragement I needed and also helped pave the way into his company. So, I am now an employee of BearingPoint. I am genuinely excited by this change in roles. I sincerely hope that I can grow and develop the skills I so dearly want with this new company. As far as I can tell, they have the capability to give me what I want; and they have the support network to back-it-up. So, I'm looking forward to building a career of 'mutual benefit' with them.
