New Job

Today is my first day to start working at Evri, on the content acquisition and processing team. I’ll be working primarily on the crawling and processing for now.

2 years in Microsoft is definitely an interesting experience. It gave me enough time and experience to realize what it is like to be in a corporate world, and the politics and decisions around them.

Coming to Evri is a huge change for me.

First thing I notice is that there are really no meetings setup. Everyone just walk around and talk, whereas in Microsoft my calendar is packed with meetings requests.

And ofcourse the big jump from two windows machine into one linux (fedora) and one macbook pro. I constantly have terminals open on both screens doing things, where as in Microsoft I have TFS on one screen, Outlook on the other.

There are lots that can be said, but I’m sure I’ll add much more after the first week finishes!
