Over the years I've tended to work at smaller companies and they grow being acquired, merging, etc. In a couple of weeks I'm returning to the 30-person or less, startup world after 7 years at a large corporation's "Digital" division. I'm 45 or so and it occurred to me to write this as I don't feel particularly like "Old Man Withers" and yet the debate on the requisition to replace me at one point talked of years of experience and thought a 35-year-old would be good. Ignoring this unintended agism I also considered the talk of "culture-shock" I'm told I will experience.
So ... I thought perhaps I'd chronicle my extremely-lower-case adventure.
PS: I'll shoot for far more eloquence and depth in the future but figured if I didn't strike while the iron is hot and start up this page then I'd have an even greater excuse not to write it. ;)
