Today, I secured a new job offer, and I couldn't be happier! My journey at my previous company started during lockdown, and the first few years were fantastic. However, this year has been tough. I often felt undervalued, and my manager seemed indifferent to my contributions. It was disheartening to hear constant complaints from colleagues about feeling underpaid and unhappy, and it felt like every month someone good was leaving the company. I found myself working alongside a colleague who I struggled to get along with. She spent her time complaining instead of taking action, while I used my free time to earn certifications. Eventually, I realized that my responsibilities were being reduced, and I sensed that a redundancy was looming for me. In August, after completing a few certifications, I decided it was time to update my CV and start job hunting. Fast forward three months, and here I am with an amazing job offer! I need to finalize the contracts, but I also have to talk to my current manager. I anticipate two possible reactions: they might try to throw money at me to stay, which I won't accept, or they might not care, which seems likely given their current cost-saving measures. This job has been my first since university, so this change feels monumental. I’m a bit scared and uncertain about how to feel. When I received the news today, I was thrilled yet anxious. I keep questioning if I’m making the right decision and what if I don’t like my new job? But I remind myself of the reasons I decided to leave. I’m not looking for advice, just wanted to share my excitement and the whirlwind of emotions I’m experiencing!
