Default Went to a Job interview today

Submitted my resume last week and got a call on wednesday to interview today. Submitted my resume to another firm yesterday and got a call back 10 minutes later for another interview today as well.

Took the day off and went to the first interview. Great company, very successful and it's a management position. Interview ( 11 am) went very well (at least I thought so). I Interviewed with the VP of Contracts and the Exec. VP of the company (2700 employees). They said to follow up if I don't hear anything by tuesday.

Went back home and got a call in an hour with an AMAZING offer.

Took the job, canceled the second interview.

I'm giving my two weeks notice starting tuesday, but am taking the second week of that notice off with paid family leave.

I start my "new" career as the company's Contracts Manager on March 2. :yay:

Better bennies (more time off, better benefits, better 401k matching, better facilities, better type of work and no travel or billable hours!!!!)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Cliffs:

Went to an interview and got a job right away. MO' MONEY MO' MONEY

Yeah, 'cept I'm pretty much leaving my firm with a solid YEAR of work already scheduled out.

I'm going to try to organize it as best I can, but I think they're going to be in a really shitty situation because of me leaving.















Oh well.
