Redundant. Bored. I'm coming to SFO. Tight budget.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=460884Hello all,
Message from someone fed up of seeing the same things every day. Wants to live a little.
I've recently been a victim of the redundancies here in the UK, I was previously at Blyk (about.blyk.com), as an everything guy. I worked on PR projects, assisted in developing the mobile content portal proposition, managed the online channel, mobile design and production. They liked my mind, and applied it to lots.
I'm pretty fed up of the UK and am endeared by the states and the start-up scene.
I can find flights for £350 from Heathrow to SFO, which leaves accommodation to be found. I'm on an incredibly tight budget.
So I'd be incredibly appreciative if anybody:
- Knows of a reasonably priced room going, or has a spare room
- Knows of an available position (I can imagine they are few and far between)
- Will trade work for board
About me: I'm 19, left school at 17. Joined Blyk, there for nearly 2 years. Worked 3 roles in Marketing and Creative. I'm a normal kinda guy. British. Dashing. Charming. Modest. Have been living in central London for the last 2 years. Versatile, hungry for knowledge.
I just need to get out there and then make the next steps. When do I want to leave? As soon as Monday.
I truly appreciate any help or comments, I'll be refreshing every 10-20 seconds!
Many thanks,
Geoff Wright
