It’s official – I gave notice at 26NY where I have worked for the past eight years and will begin with Avanade (www.avanade.com) one week from Monday (January 8th). I’ve been thinking of leaving my position at 26NY for about a year. I started interviewing at a variety of firms last spring and decided I wanted to join Avanade over the summer when one of my friends joined them. Six interview and innumerable phone calls later, and I sent in my papers today.
Avanade is a great company. It was founded as a joint venture between Microsoft and Accenture a few years ago because each company wanted to work more closely with the other and a JV was deemed the best way to go forward. Today there are about 6,000 Avanade consultants and the company is expecting to earn around $1BB next year (2007). I’m entering the company as an Account Director – it’s a great position for me, and one I am extremely excited about taking.
