Started out in mainstream bringing companies from startup to IPO and got progressively more and more sick with the attitude shift between startup and corporate. Was doing some work on the side for a guy who suggested I write a script that'd net me some serious coin (Some of you old-timers might recognize the name of it if I mentioned it...) and hooked me up with some amazingly cool people.
Wrote the script, got myself out of the ghetto, and it's been steadily up up up ever since.
The best part? Even when dealing with companies that push 100k-1M a month in revenues, there's still that take-it-as-it-comes friendly personal startup feel to it all. Aside from a few rare instances, everyone I've met in the industry still retains their humour and humanity.
Ironic, really, when you consider that everyone outside thinks we're all a pack of child molesting junkie crackhead satan worshipping serial rapists lying in wait around every dark corner to pounce on their womenfolk and stray livestock.
