I received more than twenty different offers and almost every one of those were truly good options that I could have said yes to and still pulled home a good job. What a luxury challenge to have to select something from that!  <a href=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/2018\/11\/18\/im-leaving-mozilla\/\">Publicly announcing me leaving Mozilla<\/a> turned out a great ego-boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took some time off to really reflect and contemplate on what I wanted from my next career step. What would the right next move be? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love working on open source. Internet protocols, and transfers and doing libraries written in C are things considered pure fun for me. Can I get all that and yet keep working from home, not sacrifice my wage and perhaps integrate working on curl better in my day to day job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I talked to different companies. Very interesting companies too, where I have friends and people who like me and who really wanted to get me working for them, but in the end there was one offer with a setup that stood out. One offer for which basically all check marks in my wish-list were checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">wolfSSL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On February 5, 2019 I&#8217;m starting my new job at <a href=\"https:\/\/wolfssl.com\/\">wolfSSL<\/a>. My short and sweet period as unemployed is over and now it&#8217;s full steam ahead again! (Some members of my family have expressed that they haven&#8217;t really noticed any difference between me having a job and me not having a job as I spend all work days the same way nevertheless: in front of my computer.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"175\" src=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol-200x175.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol-200x175.png 200w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol-450x394.png 450w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol-768x672.png 768w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/curl-symbol.png 789w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting now, <strong>we offer commercial curl support<\/strong> and various services for and around curl that companies and organizations previously really haven&#8217;t been able to get. Time I do not spend on curl related activities for paying customers I will spend on other networking libraries in the wolfSSL &#8220;portfolio&#8221;. I&#8217;m sure I will be able to keep busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve met Larry at wolfSSL physically many times over the years and every year at FOSDEM I&#8217;ve made certain to say hello to my wolfSSL friends in their booth they&#8217;ve had there for years.

My new colleagues all of course know just as well as you that <a href=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/2018\/07\/28\/administrative-purgatory\/\">I&#8217;m prevented from traveling to the US<\/a>.
