I didn't want to use the word "last" in the title. This friday is going to be my day to move. My six years Visa with Sun is expiring. I appreciate the effort of everyone who wanted and tried hard to keep me in Sun and in US. But I guess legal and HR issues are too istringent and complex to by pass. I had applied for developer positions in the product engineering groups in Bangalore and came this close (twice) to getting hired. It didn't work out when I told them I wanted to come back to US after a year. No body could give me that commitment. My house is another reason why I could not leave for India. It has been in the market for few months and no offers yet and I just can't leave it here or sell for loss. So I have decided to take a course and lets hope for the best. One thing which will not change though is my love for this company. My dream of becoming the president of this company I guess will now have to wait ;-). I have worked on external portals for past few years and would really like to have a portal for ex-Sun employees. Sun for me is not just a company which paid me salary. It is a religion. What will happen to me if I am not on a Sun workstation? or not on Solaris? or not on SunONE stack? At my home I have two Sun WS, one Sunfire v100, and one laptop with Suse linux on it and the only Windows I have are on the walls. Becoming a Java consultant I guess I will have to be flexible. I have never worked on Windows and this is something which makes me a little nervous. But new things to learn and push to adopt Sun technology will be my future actions. I hope my blog is not deactivated. And before I start crying let me click the "Post" button. Quick!
