[Cialug] New Guy

[Daniel.Juliano at wellsfargo.com]

With 160,000 employees, a company this size has linux, solaris, aix,
db2, oracle, mysql, java, perl, etc., in addition to the MS stuff,
running around internally.  It's just a matter of finding it.

I have tons of positive things to say about the area I'm working in; the
reliance on MS would be one of few complaints I've got.  If you
interview for a department at Wells where you like the tech they're
throwing around and receive good vibes from the management and staff, go
for it.  They're a lot more socially progressive an employer (like 25
days pto your first year) than some others around here.

Your address is @wellsfargo.com, so is that the job you're leaving?
I'm actually looking around for a new job and there are a number of
listings for WF.  Good to know this about them (though I could have
guessed with almost any company that large...).
