Just gave my 2 weeks notice.

**yellowbastard** · 06-11-12, 09:52 AM

It's been 12 long years with my current company and I put my 2 weeks notice in after getting a job offer recently that I couldn't pass up. Over 50% increase in pay from what I currently make, benefits from day 1, 401k [which I'll transfer my existing to], $15k annually for school, and no more 45min+ commutes through either tunnel. This place is only 8 miles away. I'm being brought on as an Sr Engineer IV...stoked!

Holy ipshit!!!! Congrats man! 50% pay increase is HUGE, especially with the new addition and the baby. More money for rims...and baby supplies if necessary

**JGordon** · 06-11-12, 10:48 AM

Wow, 50%. Not too shabby. Congrats!

Congrats man!

What are the hours?

**yellowbastard** · 06-11-12, 02:21 PM

Thanks guys I'm excited. Hard work definitely paid off. And it's a steady Mon-Fri 730-430ish schedule. It was a long and tough hiring process due to the data they have to protect. I can't speak about a whole lot other than that I got hired to support Newport News Shipbuilding where nuclear ships and subs are built.

Did you have to get top secret clearance for the job?

**Nightshade** · 06-11-12, 03:07 PM

Congrats man! What's your background?

**dubcac** · 06-11-12, 07:27 PM

I'm about to put mine in too.

**Draconius** · 06-11-12, 09:21 PM

What course are you transfering too Bert?

**jaymar88** · 06-11-12, 10:16 PM

Congrats man!! 50% is amazing!!!! Gonna come in handy too. Too bad you'll probably tax out your exemption with baby vs pay increase. :P

**azn_redneck** · 06-11-12, 10:37 PM

Congrats! Raises these days have been nearly non-existent so a 50% boost is crazy good. Even during fatter times ~20% to jump ship was more normal.

**yellowbastard** · 06-12-12, 06:40 AM

No secret/top secret clearance was required to bring me on [i've been told it may be something they will get me later] but there was an extensive background check and hair follicle test. And yea, over 50% increase....I can't complain there. When he called with the proposal he told me to sit down.
