    Well, as the tech bubble continues to inflate, it was gonna come sooner or later.

    Got an email about an opportunity in san diego.

    Looking for a Saas/Cloud Sr. Architect in San Diego. Company is supposedly profitably and intends to go ipo in 2012.

    I think I’m going to pass…
    Too old, too many times been there done that…I just want to relax a bit…Not to mention, I’m enjoy doing mobile platforms versus enterprise architecture.

    If you’re young, ambitious and got nothing to lose, PM me if you’re interested and I’ll send you the recruiter’s contact.

    Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with the company or the recruiter. Your mileage may vary with the “ipo” 🙂

    Hi XXXXX

    You have an impressive background and thought I’d reach out about a very compelling company and opportunity.

    Highly profitable with $150M + in revenue and growing rapidly, this San Diego – based company is being positioned for near-term IPO, but still offers generous (pre-IPO) equity to all employees. The technology is OpenSource Java with a custom-built framework (not leveraging Hibernate or Spring).

    You would join a very strong and growing team of technologists seeking a top, hands-on architect responsible for solving the most critical technical issues, which commonly relate to performance, persistence, security, etc. etc.

    Hi XXXXX

    You once signed up for Monster/Dice/HotJobs and I thought I’d run my keyword filter to send you an automated spam.

    By Highly profitable I mean, not actually losing money, unless you use GAAP. Being positioned to be bent over by capital markets and lose all good employees after they figure out mgmt sold them a ration of shit.

    You hit at least 50% on my keyword search, bravo sir. I’m not sure what hands on architecture is but I know that a critical problem I have to solve is getting a but in that seat. I don’t get commissions from being charming.

    (insert all recruiters names here.)

    Don’t know if I’d call it bombarded yet, but they are trickling in on my end too and I haven’t been listed on monster, etc, for years!
