Gratz!
I have my own job situation now. Had been looking for a "good" job for roughly 3 years. Finally, started a new job approximately 2 months ago and ditched the dead end place I was at. Absolutely love the new job. I am well supported, the people I work with are great, and I have a ton of fun. I could be making a little more though.
Well, a good friend of mine called me yesterday. About 2 years ago, his place had an opening, and I applied, but lost out to the team lead's buddy. Well, they will be having another opening. The good part, it's close to $5 more per hour than what I get now. And I'm told there is lots of potential to make more (he's a VERY trustworthy source, and not trying to "lure" me in). Couple downsides though, and they're pretty hefty ones, to me at least. The job itself, not as fun as what I got now, not learning as much new stuff. Basically, help desk tied to the phone. And the other, technically it's a contract position. It's fully benefitted, paid holidays (gov't holidays too!), sick time, vacation, etc etc, and as of now, the shortest tenured person has been there about 4 years (my friend has been there between 8 and 9 yrs I think). But, as a contract job, it could be yanked at any time. It's a bit of a commute as well, little longer time wise than what I do now, but I'd be driving the whole way where as now I take the bus.
Whatever happens, I'm gonna regret part of my decision unfortunately....
