Congrats! Remember to be kind to yourself if you have some trouble adjusting to the new routine since it's been a while <3
Thanks for the kind words! It'll be an adjustment for sure, but I feel super lucky to have found a place where everyone seems kind and knowledgeable and I'm being compensated (more than) fairly. Feels like a dream, and it's motivating me to make the best impression and do the best work I possibly can. Funny how fair wages can do that. 😅
I'm a DevSecOps Engineer. I worked at my old job for about 10 years, but I was being drastically underpaid by the end. So, I'm about to start making nearly triple what I used to make. As you can imagine, I'm completely full of good jitters at the moment.
About hour ago I told owner of company I work at that there is nothing he can do to make me stay. I have new job lined up in a month (my contract ends).
Congratulations! Certainly feels good when you tell a less-than-equitable employer you're leaving and all the weight just magically lifts off your shoulders. I'm in a support group on discord for people who used to work for my old employer, where we unload some of our post- traumatic stress. Feels good to no longer be in that place. Glad you found a new opportunity and hope it all works out great for you!
It is not that bad at this place. It is just that everyone does not care about problems here (some are really big problems) when they want to shut down this place and rebuild it. So I just doesn't see a point to stay here.
