Job hunt begins
August 25th, 2007
I’ve applied for Google’s full-time conversion process. I’d like to say I have a pretty good shot, but I honestly have absolutely no idea what will happen. It’s one of those things I really don’t want to get my hopes up about. I’ve been told I should know whether or not I got an offer by the end of September. That means, I need to know what the rest of my options are on the exact same time-line. Time to start sending out emails.
So I’ve been trying to compile a list of very cool technology companies to get my foot in at before I hear back from the big G. This list is incomplete and I’m definitely relying on the wisdom of the crowds to fill it out – read: post up suggestions.
The big guns
Microsoft (Particularly the Vancouver office)
Apple
Amazon
Yahoo!
The old jobs
Business Objects
RIM (Only if I can get on this project)
The up-and-comers:
Facebook
Kaleidescape
Pandora
The Feedroom
Any Vancouver Start-up (Now Public comes to mind) – Depending on the job, a Vancouver company could probably have me for 5-10k less a year.
What other great tech companies are all over your respective radars?

one microsoft reference coming right up…
btw that “vancouver” office isn’t in vancouver. It’s in Richmond. Which is like saying “it’s in toronto” when it’s in like, ’sauga or etobicoke or scarborough. Like, not in toronto. So yeah… i was very disappointed about this.

Wow and Richmond of all places. That sucks, though the sky train would be out to Richmond in another year.
