Today, I had my going-away lunch at Straits Cafe in Palo Alto — in fact the same restaurant that I had my welcome lunch at.
It had been five and a half great years at the E*TRADE, but it was time to move on. In that time, I’ve seen three different CEO’s. I’ve seen the stock start at $3.50… soar to $27… and return back down to $3.50. I’ve worked in five different cubicles. I’ve seen a time when evite.com was not blocked at work. I’ve also seen eight newborn babies (future E*TRADErs) in the group. 
This is a shot of my group outside the restaurant. Through the good and the bad, I can say confidently that I attribute the length of my stay at the company to how closely knit the team was. I will miss my first full time job… and I will miss everyone of them.
Thanks for everything guys.
