What Is Next.

Of all the jobs that might have been available after finishing LSE, I've been offered one of the best imaginable -- statistician at Google. My future coworkers are great, the work will be a combination of research and practicalities (all undertaken with one of the largest data sets in the history of mankind), and my salary will be at a grown-up level for the first time in four years. I'll be moving to Mountain View the first week of February.

Although I couldn't have hoped for a better job offer, I'm very sorry to be leaving London, which is the coolest place I've ever lived. And of course, it's going to be very hard living away from Sofia. I've asked to delay my start until February in order to have a couple months with her here (her visa runs out at the end of January), and in the mean time I'm working at Macquarie on a temporary contract. With luck, she'll at least be able to come help me move, and I can take a vacation to Buenos Aires next year.

So pretty soon, I'll be putting those old flowers in my hair and heading out to San Fransisco...
