Fortunately, it was a mistake, a misunderstanding. My hiring process is still running…. not fast but it’s running. I’m waiting some news… hopefully good news in a day or two.
It’s incredible how, while some of my work colleagues are really scared about my wish and possibility to leave (because I’m gonna leave two project in their hands… 70K lines of code… nice demonstrations but a huge TODO List…) my employer is happy that I’m moving to a better job. Really! He is going to save some money… and of course.. he is also going to lose a good developer (that’s not correct.. I’m judging myself).
Since I come here in US the first time due to a sponsorship between the University of Bologna in Italy and UCI, my employer he is also asking me almost every day if new Italian guys are planning to follow my path. I don’t have the answer.. I’ll talk with my advisor in Italy soon about that, but the really funny and good thing about that is that he admits that we (Italian/European Computer Science guys) are stronger… a lot stronger than the average level here in US if we are talking about design and programming. Sorry, you can agree or disagree, but this is a great truth…. and I could give you a lot of examples.
BTW, Don Quixote is starting his fighting with the windmills… that knight is becoming my hero! In same moment I feel like I am Don Quixote and the windmills are the US VISA Process. Enjoy!
