In Pursuit

Duncan quickly found work with a great company, Atlassian,  here in San Francisco.    While this sounds simple, it was not.

After months of my pursuit of a position with Google Sydney and being close to closing the deal, Dunc had a great series of interviews with Atlassian and a job offer.    A bit of a pickle.  Two professionals looking for jobs yet married.  Not only are we both professionals looking for jobs, but we are in the same industry and can compete for the same jobs.

Should we stay or should we go now?  Go to Sydney that is.  After much discussion and soul searching, we decided to stay here in San Francisco.    The decision felt right for many reasons.  Duncan started work at Atlassian on March 30th.  Meanwhile, I geared up to pursue jobs here in the Bay Area.  And so the job hunt begins.

The good news is with Duncan’s acceptance of the Atlassian job, the coordination of which companies/jobs to pursue is much less tricky with him out of the market for a job.  The even better news is the number of interesting companies in the Bay Area.    Hooray for the Silicon Valley!
