New Job!

For a while now Jonathan has been trying to move into a "official" technical role at eBay. He has been doing one for the last 2 years on his team without the title while he was in school, and it was increasingly frustrating not to get recognized for his capabilities. He realized sadly that he was going to have to leave the company that he loved and worked for for the last 8 years to get the opportunities he rightfully deserved. So for the last few months he began a very stressful and selective job hunt.

He knew to leave eBay, and the wonderful culture and amazing benefits, he wouldnt be willing to jump ship for just any opportunity. Likewise we were in a tough economic situation and it might take a while to find something. However he was finishing his undergrad and he was running out of time, and internal opportunities were not presenting themsevles so he had to make a move eventually. Luckily for us the PERFECT thing came along.......

Today marks Jonathans last day at eBay. He, with lots of excitement, is moving on to a wonderful company ( L3) that offers him everything he could hope for. Great pay, job within his field, and benefits that rival eBay. He is also considering Grad school now because of the company (L3) willingness to pay a huge chunk of it, and it will make it affordable for us --for him to go(YEA!). So while Jonathan is sad to be leaving eBay-he is also very excited about the journey ahead. So with that...Monday starts a brand new adventure. Im so proud of you Jonathan. You will do awesome!
