larsc | do you need a job? | 14:22 |
pcercuei_ | he doesn't :o | 14:22 |
pcercuei_ | less people applying, more chances for me | 14:22 |
larsc | :) | 14:23 |
viric | larsc: does it accept remote work? | 14:44 |
larsc | no | 14:44 |
viric | fair :) | 14:44 |
ysionneau | larsc: nop, I'm just switching from Parrot to Sequans Communications | 14:44 |
ysionneau | will start on january the 2nd | 14:45 |
larsc | ysionneau: ah nice | 14:45 |
larsc | probably also a customer of ours ;) | 14:46 |
ysionneau | ahah probably | 14:46 |
ysionneau | I will be working as kernel engineer for LTE SoC | 14:46 |
ysionneau | with MIPS and LM32 cores | 14:47 |
larsc | did they want to hire you after you talk to this one guy about their usage of lm32? | 14:48 |
ysionneau | well, first I was contacted by a head hunter | 14:48 |
ysionneau | then I copy pasted his email content on Google | 14:48 |
ysionneau | I got the company name | 14:48 |
ysionneau | I dropped his email and sent my CV directly to Sequans | 14:49 |
ysionneau | just to see what they had to propose exactly | 14:49 |
ysionneau | and in the mean time a friend of mine told me he knew a Sequans engineer | 14:49 |
ysionneau | I looked at his linkedin page, I saw "lm32" so I contacted him | 14:49 |
ysionneau | but I had already sent my resume :) | 14:49 |
larsc | I see | 14:50 |
ysionneau | after a little chat he proposed to send an email to his previous manager (cause he was no longer at sequans) | 14:50 |
ysionneau | to recommand me :p | 14:50 |
larsc | looks like an interesting company | 14:50 |
ysionneau | I will basically be replacing him | 14:50 |
ysionneau | yes it looks cool | 14:50 |
ysionneau | a French company, doing nerdy LTE stuff | 14:50 |
ysionneau | the small David, fighting against goliat like Qualcomm and Broadcom :p | 14:51 |
ysionneau | I hope it will be cool to have the opportunity to work with open source cores stuff (lm32) at a paid job :) | 14:52 |
larsc | are they going to use your bsd work? | 14:54 |
ysionneau | larsc: I don't think so | 15:02 |
ysionneau | they use Linux | 15:02 |
ysionneau | and eCos | 15:02 |
ysionneau | and some non-OS code (on the lm32 i think) | 15:02 |
ysionneau | don't know yet the details | 15:02 |
roh | sounds interresting. congrats | 15:09 |
ysionneau | pcercuei_: yes, but it has offices in other countries | 19:44 |
ysionneau | like UK, israel | 19:44 |
ysionneau | but yes it's based in Paris (la défense) | 19:45 |
pcercuei_ | ok | 19:45 |
pcercuei_ | well I'm looking for a job but I don't want to work in Paris | 19:45 |
pcercuei_ | that reduces a lot my possibilities in France | 19:45 |
ysionneau | USA, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Taiwan as well | 19:46 |
ysionneau | indeed, in France a lot of tech companies are in Paris | 19:46 |
ysionneau | you have Nice as well (sophia Antipolis) | 19:47 |
ysionneau | and that's probably basically it :x | 19:47 |
ysionneau | maybe I'm being a bitch here | 19:47 |
wpwrak | pcercuei_: there's also a bunch of companies on the cote d'azur | 19:49 |
wpwrak | ysionneau: yeah, the general nice area :) | 19:49 |
pcercuei_ | maybe, I don't have many contacts there | 19:49 |
pcercuei_ | if you have some to share... | 19:51 |
ysionneau | hum sorry I don't (for Nice) | 20:06 |
ysionneau | maybe because I live in Paris ^^ | 20:07 |
ysionneau | I've been one in Nice, to visit Texas Instrument office | 20:07 |
ysionneau | when it was still there | 20:07 |
ysionneau | it was pretty cool! | 20:07 |
ysionneau | 21:49 < wpwrak> ysionneau: yeah, the general nice area :) < was a joke embedded in your sentence or not? :p | 20:08 |
Action: ysionneau is being paranoid about wpwrak's humor | 20:08 | |
wpwrak | naw :) well, i once got really sick when visiting la gaude and i had my car broken into while parked outside a hotel in sophie-antipolis, but i that's about all the bad memories i have of the area. | 20:12 |
wpwrak | nice has a pretty decent nightlife. food is good, too. | 20:13 |
wpwrak | well, at least that's how things were the last time i've been there. over a decade ago. | 20:16 |
ysionneau | aouch | 20:41 |
ysionneau | ok | 20:41 |
pcercuei_ | I think it changed a bit since then | 20:41 |
