Tim, look at the dates of the posts. the original post is 4 yrs old. The guy is graduating now!
Dangles, tell him to go with Oracle. San Francisco is one of the greatest cities in the world. Plus, a lot of guys are gay so if he is straight, it really increases your chances of hooking up with hot chicks. the odds are better. It worked for me! |

Actually I'd rather go work for RedHat in Raleigh-Durham than Oracle. Oracle is too big, you start out getting beat to a pulp in sales support for 4 or 5 years. |

Ya getting beat to hell, then probably getting a huge bonus when the profits go through the roof! Although I know they didn't meet their earning targets recently and took a hit in the markets..

Oracle deal is 3 months training in SF with housing. After that it would be SF,Boston or Austin;not a bad choice among the three but I think a young guy in Austin is who I would prefer to visit. BBQ and live music! SF would be too expensive for a few years and we have seen Boston plenty.He is not sure he is looking for a sales job either.
Front runner is a marketing job with a company called Microstrategy.It is in Tysons Corner VA which is ouside of DC I guess. I noticed what you did Bill when we went to DC last fall.The Georgetown area was on fire with young,attractive girlies.

austin is a great city, plus he wont have to pay any state taxes. Some great bass fishing in the lakes @ there if he is interested
Dangles - in San Francisco, across the bay in Oakland, believe it or not is some of the best BBQ in the country. Large african american population from the south moved there in the 40s to support thr war shop building effort. They took their BBQ customs with them. great blues and BBQ in oakland. SF also has an amazing music scene. More famous bands come from there than anywhere else in the country.

Austin is HOT!! I'll be there first week in May for business, it's amazing how many young people are based there.
Microstrategy is a BI toolset provider, the big spoiler in that space right now is Tableau, awesome tool.
Big Data is all over right now and if he hops on that bus he'll be gtg for a while,
Microstrategy, Oracle are the same play probably. Business Objects is another in the same space.
Good luck to him, he'll do very, very well regardless

Hope he has the same aspirations.
