I used to live on 76 when it was “Mission Ave” or “slaughter alley”. When I was a kid you rarely even needed to look before pulling out onto Mission Ave. Anyone else remember that!

I think we’ll see the same amount of congestion as more people will use that route to connect to the 5 for people connecting to areas near like Del Mar/Solana Beach/Carmel Valley.

What they really need is a connecting train to the Oceanside Coaster station. I guess the 78 train seeks to do that but haven’t seen how much it’s helped traffic as I’m out of state now.

Thanks for the responses.

I would try and work with/network with some of my old associates but I’m in a different state now(literally).. if they would have allowed some flexibility as far as telecommuting I’d probably still work there to begin with.

I guess I’m underestimating the difficulty in growing roots in a completely new city/state.

I had an interview for a small contract recently and they sent me these 5 questions about ”how do you feel when you code” etc, lame stuff. So I replied back and said not interested. They called back and said OK nevermind, you can start tomorrow.

I guess I just became disillusioned through using Dice and Craigslist lately – but I’m glad to hear you all confirm that those sites are playing some game/resume farming.

Thanks again for the advice and recommendations.

Wow, I come back and it’s 2 pages long.

I’ve never had trouble getting a job… I’d guess I’ve gone on 8 interviews and gotten 7 jobs, that is until lately.

My last job I got by making a posting on Craigslist writing about all the things I didn’t like about the software industry. So 2 weeks later I got a reply to it… he asked me to come in, they might have a position for me. Once I showed up, the guy who was doing the hiring was like “lets talk money”. After a while he said, “you know it’s less about money and more about liking where you work”… so I started to think this company wasn’t serious. Next, I met with the owner I told him I’d work for minimum wage for 3 months to prove myself, if he gave me a high potential assessment after that 3 months. So he said, no don’t take minimum wage – take $XX,XXX/yr and after 3 months if you’re good we’ll give you $XXX,XXX/yr. After 3 months they were happy to give me the $XXX,XXX pay without a question.

Problem with the positions I’m looking at these days – it seems like alot of them have been burned by folks because they’re asking for technical interviews, code samples etc.. I am never willing to do those before first talking to the place to see what they’re about. One place wanted me to send code from a project I worked on… I thought they’d respect the fact that I said I needed permission before sending code, but they were just rude about it.

We’ll see how the search goes this new year.

Thanks for all the tips and insights.
