orathrow

I work for Oracle (and I'm reasonably high-end in my niche - speak at conferences about it and stuff). None of their competitors were willing to consider remote work for the type of stuff I do. Oracle was OK with it. Hence, I work (remotely) at Oracle for the time being.

I'd have loved to take a job at a local startup, but of the limited local options for my skillset, none had salaries that would pay the mortgage....
