A New Chapter
On the 1st November, I’ll be unemployed for the first time in my working life.
This isn’t a situation I plan to be in for too long however and having worked at Logica for eleven years and now HSBC for six, it’s now time to find the next chapter in my career.
I’ve been doing software delivery, systems architecture, design and governance for a while now and would like do something similar again. I also think I’m pretty decent at it, though always look forward to learning more.
Working collaboratively, understanding new technologies / approaches and consultancy (external or internal) are all things I enjoy. I’ve also no fixed ideas on titles or sectors, though being in Edinburgh with my background does give a reasonably strong Financial Services leaning.
I’m already having conversations with various contacts and recruiters, however to anyone reading this; if you’re able to assist in any way with contacts, advice or recommendations then I’d welcome the input so please get in touch.
Thanks,
Stuart.

A big hat tip must go to my former colleague Aden Davies, who wrote a similar post a couple of years ago which I have shamelessly lifted.
All the best Stuart. You will not be on the market for long with your skills and attitude.
If you fancy Saudi (lots of sun, excellent mountain biking, no booze) let me know.
Shameless lifting is a key skill many employers are looking for ;) PS with your skills and experience you won't be looking long!
Stuart, all the best!
Stuart, if you are truly going to be available/released on the 1st Nov then clearly someone is missing a trick. Your talent is clear but to me your willingness to help and support colleagues not only in your own area but in other teams is what stands proud and what organisations should truly be valuing. Let's hope sense prevails during the month of October.
