I got a RIM job

[Martin]

The pun was very much intended

But yes, I got a job offer from them today for a 16 month internship where I'll be a "GPRS Project Co-Ordinator". From my interview, it'll mostly be data management/db/asp type of work. I'll also be working with the project managers (my interiewer and my boss-to-be said his boss was the one who managed to whole BlackBerry 7100 project), so that'll be cool as well.

I don't know what the salary will be (I have to contact them tomorrow for that, and the starting date etc), but I think ~40k is reasonable. And of course, I'll get a nice new company provided BlackBerry to call my own

Now I just have to get through 2 months of school, finish up 3rd year and then take a nice long break (aka work).



Oh and if anybody is baffled by the title: Research In Motion (RIM) is the company that makes the BlackBerry.

Congrats, maybe you can tell someone there that their product is flaky and needs much improving.

Which product? I have half a dozen BES servers and dozens of Blackberries that beg to difffer.
