Yeah, so, my employer is being bought by Microsoft. I don't know yet what this means for me personally, but I think I'm on the job market.

They're not laying everyone off--as I understand it, they're going to offer some people relocation offers, and let others go. (Actually, much of PlaceWare will stay in Mountain View, but engineering will move to Seattle--even though Microsoft already has a Mountain View campus, and even though remote collaboration would seem like a gimme.)

But I'm not sure I'll get an offer, and even if I do, I'm not thrilled by Seattle. I've been thinking for ages about moving south, and have only recently started feeling settled where I am; moving north seems counterproductive.

So I'm not sure I need to find a new job, but I definitely want to explore my options.
