So, good news! I've been hired, though it's not a salaried position. It's a contract position, but it's for a very big, very badass software/hardware company. I'm not going to name it, but if you've read this blog the following will probably let you figure it out. Nevertheless, I have to give credit where credit is due.
I met the in-house counsel of this company while I was in law school. We connected on LinkedIn, and my blog link is on my LinkedIn profile. As it happens, this person was also a blogger, so we stayed in touch. People are always talking about whether blogging pays. My answer is that it can be a networking tool.
Anyway I'm pretty excited. They told me I'm free to keep looking for something more permanent, but when I asked they said it wasn't impossible for a contract attorney to get hired in...

Blogging does pay!
So on linkedin, it shows your real identity, right? There is no way I could blog if I thought anybody that knew me in real life could track down my blog. Sigh. Which sucks, since I will NOT get job offers through linkedin, by fellow bloggers, even though I think blogging rocks. I really envy people who are able to do it un-anonymously.
I actually just 'came out' with my real identity on my blog. There's self-censorship involved, but the benefits can be pretty huge. The reality is that there's no such thing as anonymity online - it's just a matter of how difficult you make it for people to identify you.
