What a feeling - to have had your last day of work and not have a care in the world. Of course that's not entirely true. I still have my concerns with where I am headed professionally and unfortunately find myself constantly second guessing myself if I made the right decision. To make it even more difficult, my old company made me "an offer you can't refuse" to stay with them in a "consulting role" for another month and at the same time are trying to convince me to stay long term. So now I am "consulting" and still dealing with all of the things that made me want to leave in the first place, but getting paid to ignore them!
(As a random aside I found this a great take on outsourcing.)
So anyway, where will all of this end up? I only wish I knew. One of the reasons I left was to spend more time with my family. The new job has promised this but as I get deeper into talking with them I begin to have my doubts. If it isn't going to allow that, then what is the point of changing in the first place? I have a call with one of the VP's from my old place today so I guess I'll update this with more thoughts after that is done.
