The Cisco Fatty gets the job!

For those of you who are in the know, the Cisco Fatty is allegedly someone called Connor Riley in the US who went for a job with Cisco and went on twitter and posted this:

Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work.

Possibly not the best move considering this was posted in response by Tim Levad at Cisco:

Who is the hiring manager. I’m sure they would love to know that you will hate the work. We here at Cisco are versed in the web.

Well, after all the internet chatter and finger pointing it appears that the candidate still got the job, at least according to www.theconnor.net, allegedly his homepage.

The comments on twitter can be found here

Well, actually it's a woman, so probably 'she'.

Here's her UniCal page - http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/people/students/connorriley
