Title: I wanted to send out a quick letter of appreciation to the HN community for helping me make a connection with an awesome company, who later made me an offer, which I happily accepted.<p>Last month, I posted my resume on the &quot;Who wants to be hired?&quot; thread [1], and was contacted by several companies, many of which were relevant to what I was looking for, both in a company and in a position.<p>After a few rounds of interviews, one of those companies, Kaggle [2], decided to make me an offer, and within a couple of days, I accepted. Not only do I get to work with an awesome team on a great product, but I get to do it all from home. And, I get to travel to the great San Francisco a few times a year and meet face-to-face with the folks I will be working with.<p>My last day with my previous company was Friday, and I will be joining Kaggle two weeks from today. I will be spending this time off building my dream setup in my new office upstairs.<p>The main reason I posted this was just as a thanks to those that allowed that thread, and those that helped keep the thread active.<p>The secondary reason was to hopefully hear some success stories others may have had from the thread.<p>The third reason was to let others know that the thread was successful, and that I see value in it as a recurring whoishiring thread, benefiting others in the HN community looking for a good fit.<p>The fourth reason was to encourage those of you looking to get hired to post in this month&#x27;s thread [3], as it may very well help connect you with your next opportunity.<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=7685170<p>[2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kaggle.com<p>[3] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=7833250
