Yea im going to miss that :lol: Time Warner is a great place to work pay/perks/technology however I didn’t really have room to move up since they just regionalized and most high level/senior/lead engineering positions are in VA/NC. I was planning on moving back down south in a couple years however I didn’t want to ride out the time in between being bored. Talked to a bunch of other security consulting companies and Redspin had the best work life balance(ie not traveling 300 days a year) I will be working from home and occasionally going on site to mostly warmer places :lol: ---

> [@BadnewsMike](#): > > You work for synacor? a friend of mine did started when it was a young comany and much more laid back. No but I have and I am working with people that went through there. The business is a revolving door, no stability, and work you to death. Yes, they might give you free lunches, cheap snacks, nice coffee drinks, and you can wear causal attire. However, the seem like a PHP farm and the people I know were System and Network Admins. ---
