I have a job!
I've accepted a job as an embedded software engineer in Los
Angeles, CA at
ITT Corporation in the
Radar Systems Division. I will be working on a Coastal Radar for Sweden. Sounds pretty cool.
I was also interviewing for Microsoft(
Xbox) in Mountain View CA and
Covedien in Boulder, CO. The
Covedien position, software engineer for medical devices, sounded pretty good but I just didn't want to move that far this soon. I will consider them in the future though. Microsoft was more of an embedded/operating system/chip test position and I just think that the other two positions were better suited for my career path.
The new job is in
Van Nuyes, which is close to Burbank, and I'm thinking of living around
Calabasas, Woodland Hills, or Topenga. These areas are actually pretty which cannot be said for most of LA. I do hope there is a dog park beach somewhere close though. That is one thing the dogs and I will really miss. SF is just
sooooo dog
friendly... you can take your dogs anywhere off leash here. Don't think LA will be the same : (
There is really good horse country around
Agoura, Thousand Oaks,
Moorpark, and
Simi Valley. I've heard there are lots of open spaces and state/national parks located close to the stables to trail ride.
Tentative start date is June 2
nd YIKES! That's 2 weeks away!!! I'm now packing like mad and will hopefully find a place by then.
