Moving on - Burbank opportunity

[donmontalvo]

After three and a half years, I decided it was time to move on so I explored, found and accepted another job. I gave notice on Dec 24, and this is my final week (two weeks is never enough at this level).

Company is Capgemini, client is Warner Bros., it's a great opportunity to manage a 2000+ Mac environment, working for a great Burbank team. Some of you met my boss Mauricio Trigueros when the two of us went to JNUC 2012. He's a great boss (hands off and empowering) and you'll be working with other top notch tower leads.

Happy to answer any questions if you're interested - trust me this is a rare opportunity to work at a high profile multimedia company with a great team led by an awesome Director. :) Mauricio should be posting the gig soon.

Not sure, I'd contact Mauricio. :)

@ don, congratulations on the new gig. Sounds like it was a good move for you. Always happy to see fellow Casper administrators be successful in our field. :)

[donmontalvo]

@mm2279 Thanks Mike, and thank you for all your help...where would we be without each other? :)

[franton]

FYI: Just in case anyone else is thinking, if you're outside the USA then don't go for this role unless you can get your own US visa ;)

I currently can't.

[jhbush]

Don, best of luck at your new employer. Make sure they send you to the JNUC in 2013.

[tkimpton]

Good luck Don

[donmontalvo]

@jhbush1973 and @tkimpton Thanks, hope we see each other at JNUC 2013 too! :)

:)

[clifhirtle]

Not sure we met @ JNUC Don, but across the various forums you've always been a great role model of a welcoming and helpful fellow sysadmin. Best of luck in the new gig. And don't go anywhere in the virtual space. :-)

[mm2270]

@don,

where would we be without each other? :)

Trick question, right? Hmm, lemme see. Uh, still managing some Xinet server somewhere? ; )

Congratulations on the new gig, Don!

Thanks, I try...hmmm...but I do remember being pimp-smacked by @jarednichols for a comment I made to a newbie, and yes, I deserved it. :)

@chris.kemp I can't wait. :)

[jarednichols]

Ha yup, you did. But, you learned.

This is from back what's called, "the day," when Jamf Nation didn't exist and all of this existed on an old skool mailing list.

[stevewood]

Ha! I remember that chain Jared. I also remember having Don in CCA training way back when. That was a hoot! And some of the conversations on list about "list etiquette" and "top posting"....those were the days! But alas, he did learn.....

Good luck at the new gig Don!

[donmontalvo]

@jarednichols and @stevewood Ya, this was the post that got me into the hot seat:

The new JAMF Nation forum is great, so much easier to follow and participate in.

I don't miss the old list at all.

I retract all prior references to Don as role model of positive netiquette. You guys have successfully snopes'd the Montalvo legend. Oh and @Don, we're taking down that statue of you outside the Mac lab too buddy. :-)

OMG Don, that was funny. :D

Reminds me of the day Lion came out...I'm pretty sure that was when I finally dumped the list.

[donmontalvo]

Hehe...well, to @jarednichols' credit, he opened my eyes to the comradre and cohesiveness of the JAMF community.

Reminds me of Miss Vicky (1998 Claris Em@iler-Talk list) when she smacked us all down for discussing non related stuff, however where she was banished to purgatory, @jarednichols actually succeeded and the list is better for it.

As a JAMF that will go name-less says, "It's hard making awesome look this easy."

I do what I can, folks.

Congrats...

Thanks Karthikeyan!

Congrats... Don!

Thanks Kumaresh!

[tlarkin]

Hey Don,

Congrats on your new gig! Hope you still stick around these parts.

[donmontalvo]

@tlarkin Thanks, and yes I'll still be here (mooching off your experience as always!). :)

[RobertHammen]

Congrats Don. Having recently made a change myself, it's amazing the breath of fresh air it can be to go work for a new-to-you pretty cool employer...

[donmontalvo]

@RobertHammen Thanks Robert, the 18 min commute was killing me. The new gig is 14 min. :)

<ducking>

[RobertHammen]

I went from a 10 minute commute to either an hour (onsite 2-3 days/week) or telecommuting. When I went into the office it was 2 minutes. New job is 8 minutes from home to office, as long as I don't get stopped by one of the 35 trains/day that pass through near my house...

[tkimpton]

The Vicky incident LOL that made my week. She's now Eriks other half, poor guy lol
