I guess it feels weird for me to blog, but I'm completely bored and here on and off for quite some time.

I've recently been offered and accepted a new job and as a junior developer (i.e. code monkey) at a tech megacorp. They're saying it's full time permanent, but I have no clue if this tech megacorp really has the long term in mind for any employees right now or what kinds of projects they have in waiting. It's just been tough to turn down because I've never had that developer role before in my career and I think it would be a good place to start transitioning to that kind of IT role (away from the network analyst and business analyst type roles I had been in before).

It's such a risky decision for me, especially since my current position as an SAP analyst at a small consulting firm wound up being the perfect blend of business and technology. I've learned an absolute ton about how to get accounting info systems in place and working for a wide variety of businesses and been on at least 8-10 different implementations. I even have former customers messaging me on linkedin to see if I could do some side work for them (which I can't). But at the same time, this tech mega-corp has lines dedicated to SAP as well, so that could soften some of the risk, but the projects I worked on are ridiculously small in comparison (giving away who it is much?).

I'm still a week out from starting and will likely be put through a few weeks of java training before starting any actual projects. I think I'll be curious to see what developers here are like. I'm sure it will run the full gambit of personality types.
