East Coast Here We Come!

After much consideration over 3 offers in 3 different cities, Matt accepted an offer on Monday for a company just North of Baltimore, MD, so it looks like we'll be East Coasters very soon. We're very excited the interview process is over and we finally know where our new home will be! We expect to move within the next 30 days or so, but first we have to go out there to find a place to live, then come back and deal with all the "fun" stuff that involves moving out of state. Ugh.

A fun fact to report - today I looked up flights from Chicago to Baltimore and was very excited to see the flight is only 2 hours and the prices were under $200, so hopefully this means we'll be seeing friends & family more often : )

To check out the company Matt will be working for, click on Big Huge Games. To hear about the game he's working on, click on RPG on the left side of the screen. To see the work environment click on Jobs, inside BHG. To see his new co-workers go to About, Our Team. To see where he will eat lunch, go to....haha ; )

Happy Valentine's Day!

Where to next?

So as most of you know, Matt got laid off about a month ago. During that month he's had a ton of phone interviews and several on-site interviews, which is great, but unfortunately out of all of those interviews, none of them have been here in Austin. So we're really bummed, since it looks like just after being here for 4 months, we'll be moving again. Having to deal with packing & the actual move is one thing, but leaving a place you really like that fits a lot of what you're looking for in a city is another issue all together. It's an unfortunate turn of events, to say the least.

So where will we be moving you ask? Your guess is a good as mine! Our new destination is yet to be decided. It looks like the East Coast may be the area we end up (back to cold weather, blah), but it's not for certain just yet. Matt currently has an offer for a job in Albany, NY. And he just got back Friday night from an interview with a company just North of Baltimore, MD which went really well. He also has a few other companies in different cities interested in him (Seattle, Dallas & Chicago), but those are in the early stages of the interview process. Since we need to accept an job offer soon, it's definitely crunch time! We hope to have a decision made in the next week, so I'll be sure to keep everyone posted. It's definitely been a roller coaster for us lately, especially for Matt. He has been traveling a lot and doing all day interviews, I don't know how he does it, but I'm sure glad he's hanging in there. Stay tuned...xoxo
