Scary.
It's scary because the information passed to me tomorrow will likely determine my future for the next 2-3 years. Will I get my first choice (Seattle)? Or will I experience a miracle and stay in Fremont for the forseeable future? Here's what's at stake: my integrated business unit, U.S. location, Duration of the India Stay, and location of training from Sept 12 and on.
For the training portion, here's the scary proposition: half of the slow track and 10 out of 30 of the fast track kids will receive the IBU known as ES (Enterprise Solutions) and that requires a move to Hyderabad on Sept. 12. So those kids will fly out to Hyderabad and continue training there, essentially splitting the U.S. batch in two. The decision will be made based on our assigned U.S. location. Speculation is that the West coast kids will receive the ES unit, which would be me.
Rumor has it that most people have received at least one of their top 3 preferences which means I will likely end up in Seattle, Boston, or Chicago. I woould welcome Seattle but moving to Boston or Chicago is going to be a pain.
We will also receive a rough timeframe of how long we will be in India. Our batch manager mentioned December or January as likely targets. We also should be receiving more information on the salary situation, so tomorrow is going to be an action-packed day, and did I mention that I still have to finish a 2-day group programming project by 2 PM on Wednesday? It's gonna be hectic...
My Prediction: IBU: ES meaning I will go to Hyderabad. U.S. location: Seattle Mood: Mixed
Stay tuned tomorrow...
