Bizarre Bradyisms

Offer Letter

Almost a full 7 days after hearing that I’d been offered a job, this afternoon I finally received an actual offer letter.  The company name is Xirrus and basically what they do is develop and sell what are called wireless arrays.  In non-techno speak, that means they make products which allow large business to have a wireless computer network similar to those you have in your home but much, much bigger.  The great part about what they do is that by having many radios combined (up to 16) into one physical device, the management of the network and overall coverage is a lot easier for the businesses.  This is similar to what you see on cell phone towers with many different radios.  Granted, I’m just speaking from what I’ve learned during the interview process and I still have a lot left to learn in the days, weeks, months, and years (hopefully) to come.

My job title is “Wi-Fi Application Engineer” and that basically boils down to me performing site-surveys on location at customer’s buildings and business campuses.  What is really exciting about the job is that this will involve about 50% – 75% domestic and international travel.  I will still be based here in SLC and work out of my home when I’m not on location, but traveling all over the country and even world just sounds fantastic right now.  I don’t have a family to worry about nor anything else that would be inconvenienced by this type of lifestyle, so I’m all for it.  Plus, it sounds like if things work out in the next couple of years, I may be able to move up in position and not have to travel as much making family life (should that happen) a little easier.

I won’t be starting until November 23rd which is still 2 weeks away.  I would have like to be starting earlier, but I’m not complaining at all.  This will give me time to get a few other things in my life in order (such as another Cisco test, my Christmas lights, etc). 

Finally, without getting too personal, I want to express my gratitude to my Heavenly Father with whom I have been able to have a closer relationship during the past 2 months.  Also, I’m grateful for the prayers and thoughts expressed by friends and family during this time.  Additionally, I want to make mention of the fact that this job came as a referral by an old and almost lost aquaintance who I worked with while at BYU; to him I also say, ”Thank you.”
