So, interestingly I am having a job interview on Tuesday, for Amazon. They're getting into speech recognition, so they're trying to scoop up people.
I'm really torn about it. On one hand it's an interesting opportunity, but on the other I'm rather tired of the whole speech recognition thing and if I actually switched I'd rather go to something else, not yet another speech rec company.
Also, because I have worked for more than 5 years at my current company, I get 4 weeks of vacation. Given my love for travel, that is pretty nice. At Amazon I would get a measly 2 weeks, 3 after working for one year there. And you can bet it would be long hours too because I would first have to establish myself.
