Checking into full-time employment

#445 12th April 2011 at 10pm Notes

Yesterday, April 11th 2011 marked my first day as a full-time foursquare employee! I have been working solely for foursquare since August last year on a contract basis and it was around this time last year that I first started doing some occasional freelance work for the NYC startup.

This last year has been a complete blast and to have been offered a full-time position whilst still based in the UK was amazing. At only 55 full-time employees our team are really cranking out some amazing new product and it’s a job I am absolutely relishing.

Now you know why so many cobwebs have grown over this site, I plan to change that too. :)

Congrats man, so happy for you (and I mean that from the bottom of my heart)! Was secretly hoping you’d move to the US so it’d be easier for us to visit you and Becky :)

Congrats on the full-time gig, Sam! I actually reinstalled Foursquare last weekend just to see if there had been improvements, and it’s looking a lot better than I remembered it.

How interesting that Sam now works for Foursquare and Tim for Gowalla… friends working for rival products…

This is great news for you including Foursquare, designers, and even aspiring entrepreneurs such as myself. Keep it up Sam! It’d be a pleasure to meet you this year at NYC Startup Week (if you’re attending that is)
