Neil Hopcroft

A digital misfit

I started last week with a couple of interviews lined up and finished it with two job offers, and a third arrived today. They were all software engineering roles:

Raymarine in Portsmouth
Qualcomm in Cambridge and
Sony Ericsson in Stockholm

These are all strong companies with fascinating technology within their particular niche of the market, so I’m sad that I have had to turn down two of them – there is only one me and I can’t do all of those jobs at the same time.

I’ve taken the job in Sweden – so I shall be leaving these shores again in a couple of weeks time. More details over the next few days.

  1. Gosh, I see why last week was such a whirl for you! Sweden then, eh? Should be exciting, and we’ll look forward to hearing all about it here. Best of luck for the next few weeks!

  2. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy it…

    I was in Stockholm at the end of June and (despite some heavy rain) it seemed an interesting place, built across a number of islands. Coming over on the plane I thought it might be an interesting place to live.

    I said to K that we’d have to go back again – and now you have given us an even better excuse.

  3. Hey Amigo! Congratulations :)

    A very good friend of mine lives in Sweden. He’s in Malmo, but I’m sure he could hook you up with some decent contacts to start you off. Should I ask?

    Either way, best of luck!

  4. congratulations!

    i was talking to sony ericsson about something a few weeks ago (but in lund, not stockholm), think it fizzled out, but we’ll see :)
