Plumtree was a heady startup and the first to the corporate portal market. I was one of five field deployment engineers and we handled many of the first corporate portal installations all over the country. It was a fast paced and interesting as well. We received a lot of exposure to multiplie systems, configurations and requirements. You were constantly learning and by then end of my term there I had written integrations with over 50 custom, commercial and open source solutions to integrate with Plumtree's portal software. Along with the travel, it was a blast for some one just out of school!

College degrees are a must. Other than that they are fairly open minded. If your a sharp Java guy but have never touched WebLogic you may still get hired if you can demonstrate your skill. Portfolios are a must.

The rest of the time I am on the road doing demos or proof of concepts for clients. It's very relaxing to work from home and I seem to get allot more done though from time to time I will take off to a local coffee shop for a change in scenery.
