Since there is talk of the job market slowing, I have decided to add to the "I got a new job" posts to help ease peoples nerves who are trying to break into the industry!
I have decided to except an offer with a major business VoIP provider in the area as a "Specialty" Network Engineer (VoIP engineer). The interview and HR process took a couple weeks and I will be starting on Tuesday (Yeah longer weekend!). It will be a 10k a year increase in salary and also will be closer to home. So with the savings in gas it will be about 12k raise
I have been slowly trying to work my way deeper into the VoIP industry over the past couple years and this will be my second job working solely with VoIP technologies. It is a great field to get into, and it has been a lot easier for me lately to find opportunities with VoIP rather then regular routing and switching positions. Maybe people are right when they say the voice market is hot!
So to all you guys looking to get into a field or make a change, just keep at it and once you get a few years experience under your belt the jobs will come a lot easier if you work hard!
