New Job: RD2

I’ve been working for RD2 as a contractor since the beginning of the year. They’re a small design shop on North Hall St, just off Blackburn & 75. The contractor arrangement with them was working out fine, but I got a call in late June from another company that was interested in interviewing me for a full-time position.

These guys were looking for a client-side specialist and that’s exactly the kind of position I was looking for. After two rounds of interviews (including a two-hour session of technical questions), they offered me the job. I was particularly impressed with the technical component of the interview process — though they were designed to test me, the questions themselves allowed me to learn more about the company as well.

I initially accepted their offer and went to go talk with RD2 about it. As it turns out, RD2 returned with a more compelling offer. Above all, I was drawn to RD2’s design-focused approach to web development. Working for them, I’d have the chance to work with many different designs over the course of a year (and not just a single company’s branding). In any case, I started with RD2 last Tuesday (after the Independence Day weekend) and I can see myself staying there for a while.
