After 2 years and 9 months I’m done with Valve and desire for new challenges. There’s a new company evolving in Helsinki called FWD and after months of considering I decided to join them. I’m in a very interesting position where I can affect how this company is build. I’m really looking forward to see how this experience will educate me and give me new skills for the future.
I’m goingto miss working with crazy people at Valve, but at this point for the sake of my passion I need to move on.
Changes are always good :)
You darn child of the dark side! I’ll never forgive you!
-P
I don’t know which side I just joined, but I hope it will be the non-dark side. :) I’ll miss all the good friends at the legendary Valve, too; people like you, Jormaggio, Pekka, Lari, Tuomas, Niko, Samuli, Paula, Jussi N., Jussi S., Jarkko, Flinkster, Paavo (sometimes), Hasse, Teemu, Kaisa, Java, Räppi-Veijo, Junnu, Sami P.
There’s of course also people that I didn’t get acquainted with that well. And then there’s the new management that wanted to get rid of me. :)
My new company will have a brand new name in the beginning of February. I hope it won’t be named “V” as in Virasto. Any suggestions for a new name are welcome. ;)
