On Tuesday, I have to decide: which lunchbox do I take to my first day of work – Star Wars or Wonder Woman?
That’s right, I’m heading into a new office to start my first day at a new job!
After three years with the crazy-smart crew at Brent Ozar Unlimited, I’m closing that chapter and starting the next. I’ll be a Senior SQL Server Engineer at Concurrency, a Brookfield, WI-based Microsoft partner and consultancy.
The breadth of projects I’ll get to work on, and knowing I’ll be able to put my depth of SQL Server knowledge to work immediately, was a big factor in my decision. But the big draw for me is the really smart, passionate people I’ll be working side-by-side with. Concurrency values and draws thought leaders and experts in each field they consult in. I’ll be joining six other Microsoft MVPs, which shows how much Concurrency values contributions to technical communities, as well.
Time to go pack my lunch!

Congratulations, and have fun!
I reckon the Wonder Woman lunchbox is better. Lots of good wishes for the new job.
We–yes, all of your friends in the Community–eagerly await your updates & of course you have our sincere best wishes!
Congratulations! I admire people who are always going in the new direction.
Congatulations. I checked out the web site and it doesn’t list SQL Server, I’m sure you are on board to change that!
Congrats!
I think Wonder Woman would be apropo. Plus you get a cool invisible jet that way!
Congrats. Have fun at the new gig!
Enjoy your new chapter. I hope your new coworkers enjoy karaoke! 🙂
Why limit yourself, Jes?!? I think you should take BOTH lunch boxes!
Hope you are doing well and that you thrive at the new gig.
Talk with you soon!
I reckon whichever one you use it’ll look like you are going on holiday with a novelty suitcase.
Sorry, that was a gag about your diminutive stature.
Congrats about the new job, and :O <– surprised face when I saw you had changed your job.
A little late to this, but…
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS JES!!!!
Yet another step in your plans to take over the world. I’m enjoying your progress.
Belatedly, CONGRATULATIONS!!! And I’m sure you realized that the Star Wars lunchbox was the appropriate one… I think we need to all bring our Star Wars lunchboxes to our next LTD Summit… 🙂
Congratulations Jes!
Congrats Jes!!
Keep Smiling & Shining, Keep Growing !!
Best Wishes!!
