I generally don’t use this blog for life news. I figure if you know me well enough to care about what’s going on in my life, you probably would already know anything I could mention. But, given that this particular tidbit has professional ramifications, I figured I’d throw out a short post.

At day 366 of my tenure at Jobster, I submitted my resignation. For those of you who haven’t been keeping score at home, Brian Fioca and I had sold a small web startup to Jobster about a year ago. Working at Jobster was a pretty amazing learning experience in a lot of ways, but it became clear to me that I am better suited for smaller and more early-stage companies.

My current professional plans are to keep my eyes peeled for the “next big thing”, preferably a very early-stage startup with considerable equity opportunities.

In the meantime, I’m doing a bit of consulting work and working on RescueTime (which has some potential to be the aforementioned big thing). I’ve already taken on two short term consulting gigs (both with startups) that are pretty darn interesting. Given that I was gone from Jobster for all of a week (the week of July 4th at that), I’m pretty comfortable saying that there is a fairly endless supply of consulting work to be had.

Nonetheless, I’m always keeping my eyes peeled for more. So if you bump into an opportunity that seems like it might be a good fit for me, let me know!
