If I work here, can I get free alcohol?
So the husband and I are considering moving to Seattle. Not for a couple more years, but we are already researching it. The culture, places to live and, most importantly, companies and the local job market.
There are a lot of big companies in the area that would be cool to work for, and not even just the obvious ones like Google or Starbucks. And then I saw the recent commercials for Mike’s Hard Lemonade.
You mean they are located in Seattle? Man, I gotta move out there. I’m betting employees there get some fun perks. I’m a big fan of perks.
Any suggestions on fun companies in Seattle?

Laurie – I don’t usually like commercials but Mike’s always comes up with some great catch phrases.
Topher – Let’s make a deal that the first person out there has to help find a job for the other. 🙂 I’ll add you to my link list as well, your blog is like serious and helpful and stuff. Thanks!

I LOVE higher education – most people don’t think of it as a career option but it can be a terrific environment in which to work!

I once had an acquaintance that worked at UW in Seattle (in HR) and LOVED it. We lost touch tho 🙁 or else I would hook you up.
The Pacific NW is a wonderful place. Come on over.
PS I believe The Googles is HQ in California. Were you thinking of Microsoft? They is in the Redmond (right by Seattle). Now if I could just get the MS recruiters on the East Coast to understand that Portland is 3 1/2 hrs away from Seattle….they would stop calling me!

HR Maven – I’ve worked in Higher Education HR and I liked it. It would be cool if I could work in it again.
HR Wench – I think I would like the Pacific NW, I think it would really suit me. 🙂 Microsoft would be cool too, but Google does have a couple of offices up there which would be a nice way to get around having to live in CA to work there.
If I did move then I could take a road trip to Portland so we could hang out!

Seattle totally rocks … as does Portland. Hard to go wrong anywhere in the NorthWest … just remember to bring your rain coat!

I wish The Googles had a PDX office. That would RULE.
TC – When we see raincoats we see A TOURIST!

I like rain so no worries there. I’ll be sure to avoid the rain coat though. I certainly don’t want to be grouped in with the “tourists”. 🙂
