As some of you know, I've been in IT a long time (my day job) and have been in InfoSec over half of my career. I've been keeping this close to the vest but I thought I'd share with the tribe. A company in Houston has been heavily recruiting me to take over a VP of Information Security position. I rocked the interviews and now it's just the agonizing wait to decision day. I do know from the executive search firm that I'm the current frontrunner for the position. This is a huge move for me and would be a nice way to finish up my career.
If you could toss up a prayer, I'd appreciate it. Maybe that Masters in InfoSec will finally pay off.

Possible big job change on the horizon

I will remember that if the monsterous creature is within clubbing range, it is a tight situation, and start clubbing. This is true even if my firearm still works. No reason not to club and shoot at the same time.

Yes. Guessing that's a residential move, too--about 180 miles or so.

Primarily remote, some time at Corporate in Houston, some travel. We'll see how much initially.

Make sure you use Kevin. He never can seem to catch up and drags the whole team down. Originally Posted by apamburn

Do it bro. It was scary but I walked on a great job with a shit manager. After taking a year off I found an identical position with a new employer and a great team and manager. Hope it works out.

We hate Kevin he was my first pick :-p Originally Posted by Jack Rumbaugh

Having some trouble now though
Dev tied him up but they're arguing over minutae like the knot they used and no one will approve it
QA is being overly critical and has logged 1,000,000 bugs for using inferior rope
UI/UX is yelling about rope color being slightly off and not perfectly coiled
At the last minute PM demanded we find a unicorn horn and shove it up Kevin's ass because "cUsToMeR eXpErIeNcE"
And management is constantly asking about time estimates.
By the time it's all done we will probably end up just sending him on a punitive coffee run and call it good.
But the though still counts right?
