The End of a Short Chapter

Before we left for Christmas vacation, I found out from my boss that the Developer Relations Manager role that I'd been filling for the last few months was going to be dissolved. The reason for this is that the company's focus is shifting to be more in line with its revenue and other goals for this year.

Well, today (Jan 2) was the day that that happened, so as of this morning, I've been laid off. I wish I could say "easy come, easy go" but this one was not so easy to come by, so I'm pretty sad to have it go. I'll miss working there and I'll always wonder what would have happened to the DevZone and other outreach stuff that I planned for this quarter (like the 12 articles I'd been working on).

I'll say this: I enjoyed my experience in marketing, and I certainly hope that my next job opportunity will allow me to continue to grow in that direction.

Wish me luck.
