I was told after one year of employment I can sign up for one event a year. I got 11 more months.  :boohoo:

I'm lucky if I get to go to Cisco Live here in melbourne, and its not like we're the largest Gold partner in the region or anything
I'd love to go to vmworld
its not really a cost thing (in terms of going to the conference), its the lost revenue of a billable resource not billing + all my projects slip a week behind which won't look good.

Interop - May 2nd - 6th Las Vegas
Open network user group spring May 9th - 11th San Francisco
Cisco Live US (CLUS) - July 10th - 14th Las Vegas
VMWorld - August 28th - Sept 1st Las Vegas
Open network user group Fall October 24th - 26th New York city

I think thats it for now.  Interop is a big maybe.  I realistically just want to go for the future of networking speak from packet pushers and a few other things.  Seems like everything is in vegas this year.

Yeah my wife is pissed about that. We are trying to figure out how she can go to CLUS. 

Have you been to ONS? How does it compare to ONUG? Im looking at both.

Hey, cool, that's where I work! Fort Worth is a fun town, especially Sundance Square around that time of year.

Is it because you're new at your job, or because that's not how they roll?

With my new gig doing mainly open source I am pretty sure I won't be going to anything (closest would be Red Hat Summit but not gonna happen).

Yeah, I wasn't to pleased when I found that out. Especially after I took a vacation day and a 6 hour trip to interview with them.

My head-hunter asked me if I would come down in price cause she didn't want to tell them I wanted that much more than they had asked for.

That sucks man. I had that done to me once a few years ago as well. Needless to say I didn't take that guys calls after that.

Wow... that's some straight-up bull-ish

I'd definitely mention that on Glassdoor or where ever else you can make comments about the company in a public forum.

Up to you, but I'd tell that person I'll never work with them again (request someone else from the same company if you like), and I'd explain exactly why so hopefully they learn their lesson.... they should have been upfront about that from the start.
