New employer?

I've worked for AT&T in it's various incarnations for some years now. Though I've applied for another job in AT&T, internal administrative issues might not allow me to move to that position. In one of those instances of strange timing, another firm approached me about an available position. They found my name because they were searching on LinkedIn, a professional FOAF site, I am currently in negotiations with that firm, so I won't post any details until something is final (and in writing).
