I doubt he was being a reviewer as merely a means for finding an audio company to work for. Mejias can write and it's entirely possible that plenty of people were impressed with the guy. Hiring him as a VP of communications (the guy's job at Stereophile is to communicate) probably led AQ to get interested in him.
I wouldn't say it's unusual to be offered a position from some other outfit. And with the recession and all - if someones is going to throw significantly larger coin at you to write for them then you gotta look at it. Sounds as if Mejias is a smart man - he will continue to stay with Stereophile in a music review writing capacity. Didn't completely close the door and if the AQ thing doesn't work out maybe he can return.
