Has come!

I've been interviewing with a growing webhosting company called Rackspace. My brother has worked there for a couple years and I decided to try to pursue a marketing internship through my university resources. You can check out the company here: http://rackspace.com

The interviews went so great that they decided to completely nix the internship and offered me a full time job with great pay. I am now a marketing analyst I in what is one of my dream companies to work for.

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Hehe, cool. Rackspace is a customer of the company I work for. Good people, from what I've heard through the grapevine.

Rackspace has over $0.6 Billion in revenue. I wouldn't call that so much a growing company as a grown company.

They've only been around for 12 years. They were telling me how they didn't even have enough people to even get close to spending all of their marketing budget for the past two years. They definitely will grow some more though but overall they are a great company. It's awesome!

It's an exciting time for the hosting world, for sure. My industry (which is kind of a layer below Rackspace) is beginning to balance out... not quite as exciting as it use to be, but the pure hosting side should see quite a bit of growth yet. The backbone that supports hosting is there, so it's time for that industry to shine--especially has the web evolves.
