About Me
-"Walter Rego" is not my real name; I am using a pen name because I am currently in the midst of a job search and I would like to explore some ideas on Brazen Careerist that might not be viewed favorably by prospective employers.
-I used to work in the Real Estate Private Equity and Commercial Finance industry in Manhattan. I was laid off from my last job as an Acquisitions Associate in January '09.
-In December '09, one year after searching in vain for a job that would allow me to remain in New York, I moved with my wife of 6 months to Austin, TX to pursue my dream of starting my own business.
-While I have a few entrepreneurial ideas that I would like to act on, I have been preoccupied by trying to find a stimulating and decent paying day job to put food on the table.
-I have been working a contract job as an entry level financial analyst here in Austin for the past two months. It is incredibly tedious, the pay sucks, and it is a huge "step down" from what I have done in the past. But at least it allows me to keep the lights on while I look for something better!
