Are you applying?
I hadn't realized that they'd recovered from their hiring drought. Did people leave?
Michael,
Drew's heading off to graduate school, other than that I don't think it's a matter of people having left, more a matter of projects and work coming along that requires staff to get done. There's been some kind of merger such that T&P has quite a few more folks under its umbrella.
I'm not applying, no. I'm still pretty new and and figuring out this Unicon job.
I loved working for Technology & Planning a lot -- it was a great time, good experience, wonderful coworkers, neat projects. I would highly recommend it to others. I remain grateful for a first job out of college that was just pretty darn cool and afforded me a great deal of autonomy and a chance to be so involved in opensource.
But I hope I've done the right thing in heading along here to Arizona to try out working for Unicon. I wanted to validate the idea that I could get a job somewhere other than our alma mater -- and frankly at the point I made that choice I just needed to be somewhere and have a place to go every morning and a job to do and it wasn't clear that going back to New Haven was going to provide the right mix of that. I appreciated Yale's trust and autonomy but ultimately at that time I needed something more concrete. Or maybe just enough different.
Maybe the timing didn't work out. Maybe I just got what I needed to get and gave what I had to give at Technology & Planning and moving along to this job would have been the right to do regardless of any Yale hiring weirdness.
I will say this, though: Yale ITS doesn't know how good they are and how good they have it. The more I gain experience elsewhere, the more I'm impressed with Yale ITS and their approaches and architectures and resources.
New Haven is a beautiful city and Yale was a fun place to work. I'm happily employed elsewhere now and don't have any plans to make a change. So, maybe leave it at, the timing's still not right.
