I'm a January 2011 alum (CSE). From early in 2011 to mid-2013 I was in San Francisco working for Industrial Light and Magic (Lucasfilm) doing Python/web app development and VFX quality control. Alas, I ultimately did not survive the Disney purchase, so for the past nine months I've been living in Elburn, IL (far west Chicago suburbs) job hunting and serving as a primary caregiver for my infant niece and nephew.

I'm not at all opposed to broadening my horizons (though I do want to be in Chicago proper), but what I am and have been actively looking for is the same type of work I was doing at ILM.

I think the long stretch of time without a job is starting to adversely affect my ability to find a new one, so I'd appreciate any good leads or insight anyone has to offer.
