End of an era

I have just unloaded the last of my now worthless shares in my dot-com era employer, the one-time eBusiness consultancy Scient.

You used to work for Scient? You poor child. I went in for an interview with Scient in 1999, and knew something was up when the only people interviewed who weren't rejected as having said that "they were from outer space" were graduates of SMU's business and advertising programs. After hearing what happened later, I was damn glad that I didn't get the job.

Oh, it's difficult to refuse someone headhunting you and doubling your salary...

It wasn't too bad on the tech side of things, and in Europe. I got to see chunks of the world and do interesting projects...
