I have a question, the title at Gateway is "Design Engineer" but what will you be
designing? Would you still be in the Networking/Telecommunications or would you be
doing something different.
I have a lot of experience with Level 3 from the customer side of the world. Their
networking facilities are absolutely awesome. I've toured their Dallas facility and
was amazed (and I've been in some pretty awesome data centers EDS, Perot Systems,
Kennedy Space Center, The Associates, etc.).
For me my decisions are pretty much always based on "mo money mo money mo money" but I
think Level 3 is a pretty good place to learn alot, or at least it appears so from the
outside.
If you have a different opinion of the opportunites from the inside perspective I'd
sure be interested in hearing some of them.
