  Sorry to hear this, I mean, after all you we’re very excited about that opportunity – as far as I could see from your previous posts. But I’m pretty much sure you’ll find something in short time! Until then, have a great time in the USA! Are you attending some conferences there?

  Sad to hear things didn’t work out as planned with your career in Sweden. I’m confident though you’ll find another emplorer that suits you even better! Welcome back anyways and have a great holiday

  Nice to see a new update here. Hopefully you’ll be able to clear your head while on holiday and to enjoy your time in the USA.

  Too bad it didn’t work out Marco. I’m sure you’ll find new opportunities. But first have fun in the US.

  Hey Marco,
  
  Shame to hear about some things not working out. I’ve immediately sent your LinkedIn profile to my boss and our recruitment guy. I think they’d be hella interested in talking to you.
  
  Anyway, have fun during your holiday!

  too bad. looks like you have some great experience under your belt. I guess you have thought about freelancing? Doing the “work on my own stuff” or with others on a more open basis and pulling in some money for freelance gigs on the side perhaps or are you looking to jump straight back into a company?

  Glad you are still around marco, I’m sure you’ll get back on your feet soon, someone as gifted as you should have absolutely no trouble finding an interesting and engaging job.
  
  In the mean while, have fun in the US of A :)

  The company where I work does have several job opportunities at the moment, and I’d be more then willing to recommend you. Thing is that we mostly need Java people (which you haven’t done in a while, right?) I’m always pushing for us to start using PHP or even Ruby, but currently we don’t do either.
  
  Glad to see you back online, hope things turn out OK.

  Sorry to hear that the great opportunity didn’t work work out as expected. After having fun in the US are you then flying back to The Netherlands to live here again, or are you going to stay in Sweden for another while?
  Anyway, success finding a new job.
