    Thanks gents! As much as I have said it in the past, but TE and its members are half the reason where I currently am at in my career!

    You guys are beyond awesome with the knowledge, inspiration and motivation you constantly provide.

    I concur. One year on here has made me do IT differently and made me realize my potential.

    @cyberguypr – No need to give them a ring! I GOT IT!!

    I got the verbal offer from the recruiter just before I met up with the awesome UnixGuy for a coffee this morning! The recruiter told me he had got the background check process started and a written offer would be sent after the check comes in. I told him firmly that I wasn’t turning my notice in till I had the offer in my email to which he agreed wholeheartedly. Some details:

    - 6 month rolling contract upto a maximum of 18 months after which they either make me permanent or let me go.
    - Very decent jump in pay which is kind of a given in contracts considering there’s no PTO/bennies
    - The chance to work with and learn off some awesome folks (probably the biggest perk!)
    - Some interesting projects (move them from vSphere 5 to 5.5, a new VDI implementation, migrate to new storage [unknown vendor], general performance improvements, upgrade SRM to 5.5, other bits and pieces)

    Pretty much my dream job (for now, at least). I’ll be leaving a comfortable, decently paying permanent job that I could've stayed at forever. And stagnated! Big risk you may think, and I agree to some extent. But I needed something like this to push me to the next level. I had plateaued over the last 6-7 months and definitely needed a challenging gig. You gotta take a risk sometime, otherwise you’d never know how high you could've gone. "What if” never went to the arena!!

    Congratulations man! Happy for you :)

    Thanks again all!

    @zxbane - Dunno who said it, I read it somewhere. Great quote nevertheless!
    @MrAgent - that's been bookmarked and will keep in mind.

    Now gotta get back to prepping for the DTA!
