So... guess who is a software engineer?

[Falco Girgis]

I start making the big bucks Monday. Kendall and I both got hired by ADTRAN, a local telecommunications company writing embedded software on PPC/MIPS architectures.

Congrats dude, but I fail to see how you can afford that TV without already making big bucks.

You're correct to think I'm never going t shut the fuck up about that TV

Financial security is freakin' awesome. I just put in an offer on a house myself. It's great moving forward without homework creeping around all the time. :P

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!

Congratulations to you both!! I remember when I first joined the forum and you said, "Wow, a software engineer!" when I told you my job title...and look at you now!

Monday is the first day of the rest of your life, my friend. All of your hard work is paying off.

Cheers.

Congrats, it's good to see programmers of all creeds (be it computer science, software engineering or whatever else) making it in the big bad world

[LeonBlade]

Aww yeah mother fuckers, congrats Falco!

[gamenovice]

dam, i still have a long way ahead of me

[Falco Girgis]

Thanks everyone. I'm so stoked. Sooooo damn ready to never do schoolwork again and get on with real development.

Nice one, Im amazed that you havent been hired by a big corporation yet.

That's exactly where I DON'T want to work. I interviewed with several.

EDIT: It was an 8-hour all-day interview (plus super fancy, expensive free lunch) for both Kendall and myself. Lots of low-level C vs C++ questions and lots of object oriented design questions. Oh, and lots of threading questions.

Congrats to you both!

Just hope it leaves you enough free time and energy to keep developing ES. Personally, I often can't wait to get out of the office and onto my own projects - your own projects will seem so much more fun than what your being paid to work on :D.
