Well, I've been uber busy these past few weeks... I just realized it was October like yesterday. A friend of mine works at a software development company that's about 20minutes from my house and called me in late Sept to tell me about a job that opened up. Well, I applied, interviewed and got the job in the same day lol. Apparently I was fantastic! :P
I've worked here, at the Girl Scouts as IT Manager for the past 4 years and this opportunity is HUGE. It'll be weird leaving here, I've given my notice already much to the horror of the folks here, especially my boss, but it's a professional and financial opportunity I can't let pass by.
Here are the details:
- The Commute changes from 1hour on the T to a 20 minute walk.
- If I want a T-pass the company pays for it ($44/month), if I don't want a pass I get paid $25 for walking! Ha, paid for walking! :)
- The salary is almost double... yes almost DOUBLE what I'm making now.
- The position is working with the Application Development, Infrastructure depts and the CIO.
- NO MORE "I CAN'T PRINT!" calls! HOORAY! :D
- They pay big $$$ towards schooling, certification and training
- I'll be working at the same place with my best bud, aka lunches together! Woot!
Needless to say I'm very excited about the opportunity, I met the 3 heads of the departments and they are awesome.
