Leaving Microsoft

Posted by shelly on November 04, 2005

This is my first week as an independent agent since my departure from Microsoft Research. I had a number of people ask me if I would going to keep a blog on farnhamresearch.com, so I decided I might as well! It is going to be quite a transition for me, I think. When blogging in the past, I always knew at least implicitly that I was representing the mother ship, so to speak, which had a somewhat inhibiting effect on what I had to say. I am very excited to be a free agent, at least for a little while. I imagine working for a corporation is much like being in a relationship: sometimes you do not realize how much it has affected your thinking until you’ve left it for a while.
