On Tuesday, I started a new job with Northern Trust. The work is similar to what I did at UBS, I’m doing application performance work, but in the new job, it’s end to end, much more cross-functional. One of the biggest challenges is to get different groups (client, server, database, web services, middleware, application) to all work together when a problem occurs. It’s certainly quite interesting stuff, and I’m learning a lot of new things, since the scope goes beyond just networks (my old job).
