I would love to have AJ in our IT department. Of course keeping him calm in most situations may be a full time job
I will never move to FL. I have an aversion to hurricanes...
Actually where I am located was chosen for Kennedy Space Center because it has no history of Hurricanes. The Gulf Stream is very strong here and its starts to pull the current away from the shoreline. So the likelihood of a direct hit here is very minimal
I wouldn't mind visiting FL but I could never live there.
Have you visited?

@coliver I think you just turned the flagging NY economy into a positive... tornadoes have nothing to destroy, lol.

I have an aunt in Fort Meyers and have been to the theme parks a few times. Probably been to FL a little under a dozen times in my life (separate times).

The culture in Ft. Meyers, Orlando, and where I live are totally different.

Oh the joys of living in a post-90s upstate NY.

The east coast is very different from the west coast and the panhandle.

Still, too much sunshine. I will get to Seattle someday...

You need to focus on Microsoft and Amazon.

It'd be kinda cool to work for Microsoft or Amazon.

@ajstringham both are companies that I would seriously consider. Amazon has reached out to me and we have had conversations but have never worked out something that works for both of us. Good company and I would totally consider it.
Microsoft would be a dream job for me. Not that it is my top pick ever and people will boggle that me, the open source guy, would love to go there but MS is a great company with a great culture and I really respect the bulk of what they do and how they act and even moreso now in the post-Balmer era. I don't know that I would want to stay there for the rest of my career or anything like that, but I would love to have a few years, at least, of the Microsoft experience. I have never reached out to them, though. I would likely want to be in Redmond. But if they reached out to me, I would definitely answer.

I think my dream job has to be something like Google. Based on what I've heard about their work culture and everything, it sounds like it'd be an amazing place to work!

I won't even interview with them. Same reason. Their culture is something I'm not okay with. I like them as a company in general, but their culture doesn't sit well with me and I will turn down any interview with them.

What about it don't you like? I've heard it's a very laid back culture but still productive.

Ummm.... I did interview with them in 2005. Not an experience I care to repeat.

She can't give any, you have to sign that you will never divulge anything about Google when you interview there.
