I did it for a while.

You'll learn what everyone else learns: yes, the money is great. But it has to be, because you don't know when there will be money.

Now I work for Pivotal Labs in NYC. I get to see a lot of different projects and someone else worries about how to find them.

If you're just bored, then as an Australian you have a golden ticket. The E3 visa lets you work in the USA with very little fuss. The market here for engineers is nuts. Like being a tradie in Perth circa 2010.

Obligatory: email me if you want me to refer you into our recruiters.

Hi, that sounds encouraging for aussies. Are you working remotely or in NYC? Would like to hear of Pivotal.

I live and work in NYC. There are about 10 Australians in this office. Pivotal has been ahead of the curve in hiring through the E3 visa.
