Alright life update time.
So those of you that have followed along know that back at the beginning of April 2021 I was laid off. While in that limbo period I did a lot of golfing and started getting phone calls from a VP in the company trying to get me back to working for them. After being jobless for only 3 weeks I agreed to go back in Mid May of 2021 even knowing that I wouldn't really love the job. The plan was to continue to look for other jobs and keep all options open. After many many interviews with other companies and even a few offers, nothing was ever quite right to take the jump.
Well about two weeks ago I was having a monthly check in with my boss, where I dropped the bomb and literally said I was being under utilized, not happy, and going to start looking real hard for something else. That was on a Tuesday. On the Thursday a VP in a completely different area called me out of the blue, and said he has a new position and wants me to come over. Well the logistics have come together and after negotiations involving salary, bonus, and options I feel like I got a really great offer and will be doing something that I am going to enjoy a lot more! This also adds me to the VP pool which will be the next logical step if I stay with this company. Anyways moving onward excited and nervous but happy that the last 18 months (I knew about the pending layoff well in advance) is finally paying off and something good seems to be happening. Time to enjoy some bourbon.
