    I sense you've been burned by other recruiters in the past.

    I think anybody that has dealt with a staffing agency has been burnt in one way or another. I think that is why most people are suspicious when they see a general/non specific job post.

     

    Headhunters are usualy not much more reliable than a staffing recruiter, but, it sounds like Brian knows the trade, and if Ron is praising him, he must be good at what he does.

    I have seen programmers that only program for themselves and never get anything beyond that role.

     

    I have seen programmers who Engineer the entire process from rough stock to final part and everything in between.

     

    I have been a programmer, where I ordered stock, designed and ordered tooling and custom, designed fixtures, did all of the CNC Programming and more.

     

    So one person's programmer is yet someone else's Manufacturing Engineer is yet a programmer operator to another.

     


    I think JP nailed it. The difference between those responsibilities is $$pay$$

    Until you've stood there with your knees knocking after your machine has crashed, you shouldn't be a programmer.

    Really, what does that feel like??? headscratch.gif

    I guess only time will tell. I am not sure this is the right job for me.


    I know the feeling. It is one of the toughest decisions you will make. Leaving a decent job for an uncertain one, especially one that you don't know if you are qualified for, is a decision only you can make, and live with.

    If the other programmer is leaving, it sounds like it may be a sink or swim deal. I think if you are honest with them, you will know if it is the right job for you. Good Luck

    .every pay period for the government I get 6 hours of annual leave and 4 hours of sick time...so you can see why it is tough to leave.

    When are you leaving? I may want to apply. biggrin.gif

  4. My SW 2009 kept freezing up on me.(got so bad I could not even open it anymore) After wasting half a day trying to figure it out, I decided to do a uninstall/ re-install. I tried about 10 times to uninstall, getting to different completion points each time, and that wasted another 1/2day. The next day I called SW tech-support and they told me to shut off the firewall before uninstall and then turn it back on after install. Sure enough, uninstall/re-install worked first try. Kind of sounds like the same issues you are having.
