Hey Scott, The company is *Lab49* (http://lab49.com) - and we consult in the financial services industry. We move across between various agile projects - even across different technology areas. For example, I'm currently on a large Flex project, but may well move to a WPF project in the future.
Since moving to New York in August last year, I've had an absolute ball. For all of the urban myths, it's actually very easy to meet people here, mostly because so many of us are not locals, and we're always up for new friends and experiences. As you yourself know, the work environment feels very different here in the states. This is in part due to the proximity to all the big developments in the industry. It also doesn't hurt working alongside rockstar developers and attending all the big conferences. Cheers, Justin Justin J.
