After a little over 4 years Jared had his last official day at Google on Tues. Aug 5th. He finished up work in Zürich and then went in to the Mtn. View office on Tuesday to do some last minute things and an exit interview. He was a bit nostalgic but his new job is great. He now works for a start-up and is the 7th employee. There are almost 20,000 employees at Google now. On to smaller and better things.
Goodbye code reviews, goodbye gym, and free lunches and dinners. Goodbye friends and family complaining to you whenever anything doesn't work at Google -- even when it has nothing to do with the area you work on. :)

I apologize for being one of those complainers! :)
Good luck to Jared!
congrats, good luck - but more of all: have fun! :)
Oh, that's kind of a surprise (to me). Did you guys know he'd be moving on to another job when you came here? Or did this come up in the middle of the year?
Buy lots of stock in the new company! Get in on the ground floor and you'll be millionaires in no time. ;-)
wow! what big changes!
i'm wishing the two of you lots of succuss in all of your transitions.
best of luck to you both!
Me: Alice's Jared is leaving Google.
Joel: Really? Why?
Me: He's going to a start-up.
Joel: Huh. Well if he was hired 4 years ago at Google, he's probably pretty smart.
Me: Yeah, Christine said he was brilliant.
Joel: Well, and he got to marry Alice. And, you know, she's one of our favorite people. So yeah, he's pretty smart.
There you have it. Praise from the Hills.
Thanks everyone, for the well-wishes. I loved my first week at KaChing. My teammates are fun and clever, and we all fit in one room! You can try our fantasy stock exchange on Facebook:

Jared, Congrats on all you accomplished at Google. I remember when you first started (we were roommates then!). I wish you all the best at your new job.
