[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To set the record straight, many men and women with families just like me have jobs in IT. Many of us work for companies that have gone IPO and have made a killing. I can name quite a few in recent years, such as Splunk, Nutanix (any day now), ServiceNow, PaloAlto, Bluecoat  (any day now). I work for one such company, as does my DH. We got loads of restricted stick that we got for pennies and have cashed in, some held. We both still work. Not only do we work, we are constantly on the look out to land a job with the next hot chick at the bar.

People who build wealth and have anbition, don't do so by not working. Working for said PROGRESSIVE IT companies lends itself to job flexibility and all of these companies have Tele work options or are nearly 100% telework.

It is absolutely false that just because people have money and a lot of it, that we somehow yearn for days filled with maincures.[/quote]

So you have worked for one company that has been profitable in the past decade? What is your plan when tech bubble pops, have you cashed in about $2M I hope?  VC funding is changing and looking at bottom line much harder. So you will get a chance to sit back and get manicures![/quote]

No. Three. I started as an original UUNet employee. It's what got me hooked on riding the wave. I learned back in 1999, by sheer luck to cash in when the getting is good.  Most people do these days.

I won't even consider a company without a huge upside. We are in the IT land of milk and honey here in NoVA.[/quote]
