the "blah" to go the distance (part 2)

This extention was rather unexpected. :)

yesterday, we had day 1. we just had a briefing on the state of the matter at hand, and we are facing an interesting future.

that is, it is interesting if you are somewhere above and not at the end of the food chain. from here, it sounds potentially like blah.

I've never liked big companies in my professional life. Contributions in such places tend to go swallowed into the masses of people here, and your chances of growth tends to be limited. me, I've always headed for research labs or start-up companies where the work is hard, but at least results are visible.

My decision to join my current company has been one of pragmatism: I heard good things about the company and i feel good about the environment here. Despite the fact that my work would probably end up as fodder for "the big picture", it was a price i was willing to pay.

looking at things now, I am in doubt of whether the same attractive factors remain. I am hoping that things would improve: that advancements would be possible, and that it is possible to take positive steps ahead. I'm going to try to stay positive on this..

hopefully...
