New Job

Throughout spring Kyle started looking for a new job. This has become quite the hobby for him, but this time we both felt it was necessary considering we would begin paying back student loans in June. So the search began. We decided we really wanted to stay on the west coast, and preferably in Utah so that we didn't have to move too far and could stay by family. Kyle sent his resume to Seattle, Colorado, Utah, San Diego, and the south bay area (where the tech industry is huge). The top three companies that we wanted in the end were Omniture in Orem, Qualcomm in San Diego, or Google in San Jose. Omniture fizzled because they didn't seem to ever get Kyle's resume to the right place... Bummer.

Kyle was interviewing for Qualcomm and Google and fell in love with both. We were so excited. Qualcomm offered him the job before he had finished the interview process with Google. We had to make a decision. Take on Qualcomm, or hold out for Google and their long interview process?

Basically what it came down to was that as much as Kyle loved Google, Qualcomm was just more practical for us at the time. San Jose is so much more expensive, we have no family there, and again, he didn't get offered the job yet. Google is Kyle's dream company. It was difficult to watch him let it go, but I think we made the right choice.

San Diego, we are coming home!
And say hello to
