In 1990 I moved from NYC to Sillicon Valley the Mecca at the time for software computer techies like me. I worked in Sillicon Valley until the fall of 1993 when I married the late Caryn Shalita and moved to LA. LA at the time was beginning its transition from being part of the Southern California military industrial technology world. The transformation is now complete. A recent article said there are almost as many startups in LA as in Silicon Valley and they are now calling this area Silicon Beach. My recent phone calls and interview schedule reflects this new tech boom where I live. I have at least one phone interview if not multiple, every single week day for the last few weeks, and I have had a growing number of in person interviews as well. I have yet to find the right fit, but there is so much going on I am far from discouraged. For the past year I have been involved with a yet unfunded startup and working projects for a media boutique but I am now looking actively for something more sustainable and expect to jump in full time to a well funded entity breaking new ground in web X.0 or mobile rather soon.
A lot of these entities are giving me tech interviews in the form of tests. Haven't taken this many tests since I graduated college over 20 years ago. Not loving the tests but certainly getting more comfortable with them, and its helping me to see who I'd like working with and for and who not.
A few of the jobs are telecommuting possibilities by design, so although I may start work any day now, I still may not be headed into an office anytime soon.
