After almost six months, I was hired to be a contractor for a project that I had gone through the motions in the last few years as one of the team members and was kind of pushed into a lead position. This time I am the lead and the scale of the operation and the customer base is even more massive. The project is in the early stages, so that makes room to learn the additional skills needed. The expected timeline is eighteen months, but it could easily go beyond that.

To those looking, I hope the best for everyone of you. I'm not going to blow smoke and give a rosy scenario, we're adults and know better, but attitude helps. My interview for the position was a classic case of keeping a good attitude, the interview was delayed for three hours and somehow, I had two interviews scheduled by different groups and it was for the position and I was confused as to what was going on. Scheduling a Monday interview very late on a Friday didn't help, but it still worked out.
