QUOTE (Hartmann @ Oct 5 2006, 07:00 PM) Couldn't agree more... what's considered small? like around 200? because if that's small, then yes small rocks. i went in with a start up years ago and it was only 5 people, and it was chaotic. -------------------- |

I looked at 3M, but... well, lemme put it this way: they have a whopping 10 engineering jobs posted on their site right now for the entire US and none of those are in Texas. However, I'll go ahead and upload my resume to their site. -------------------- |

i can't speak for the huge companies, but i can say small is pretty nice. especially as a sw developer. if you can find a small, stable company, that's big time job security. and don't let "small" make you think opportunity is minimal, I don't have all that much room to move up per se, but i've gotten a shit ton of raises and my company takes very good care of me (went home for six weeks last year for back surgery and didn't miss a paycheck). small companies will tend to see your worth and make sure you get what you deserve.

Small companies are partially why I made this thread.
 The big ones are obvious and easy to find, but those who have been in Austin more than I have might be aware of smaller companies that I would otherwise overlook.

I did one better for the Statesman site... created an account, uploaded my resume, and set up a job search agent to email me daily. I will check Craig's List occasionally, even though nothing there looks promising thus far. -------------------- |
