Interesting! I actually work at Autodesk and my job is mainly to help users of acquired product A move over to (also) acquired product B (product B was previously a competitor of product A). I guess this acquisition culture must’ve been around long before me!

Are you the one who cleverly arranged for a ceiling tile to fall on Ton Roosendaal when he was talking about supporting Autodesk, getting brought to court and most certainly losing, and the Blender Foundation owning the Blender code? ;)

What’s that job role titled? I’m looking for work and that seems like something I could be okay at, and likely in demand enough to offer realistic prospects. Thanks in advance.
