Woo Hoo!

[JulesMaximus]

Got laid off back in May but just accepted a job today.

And I'm making about 15% more than I was at my last job.

The summer of JulesMaximus is officially over. 😀

Congrats man. It's a real shitty feeling when you're unemployed so I'm happy for you.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Getting laid off was rough and I had a hard time coping with it at first but I nailed the second interview today (interviewed with the CFO and the Accounting Manager, first interview was with the Controller and another executive) so I'm just happy as hell right now. 😀

I probably won't be spending as much time here though.

Right on Jules!
glad to hear another success story. I work tomorrow, for 1 day. after that I guess I better get looking.

Well played sir! Well played!

Bet that made an instant change in the household anxiety levels.

Still in San Diego? How's the market looking there? Up for you, obviously!

We're still talking about moving out there in the next 2-3 years.

Congrats.

Great. I only learned a couple of days ago you were laid off. Great way to start the weekend.

I didn't make a big deal about the layoff when it happened. I did comment on the fact in a few threads though.

No, I haven't bought any bike gear in quite a while. I'm happy with my high end road bikes. 😉

I did a 3 month no job stint, felt terrible even though I didn't have to worry about expenses.

Congrats,
I'm unemployed going on 8 months now, but it looks like finance / quant finance is finally starting to pick up. At least I can defer my grad school loans 🙂

Weren't you on Wall St before, or am I thinking of someone else?

I swear, losing a job sometimes becomes a blessing in disguise. Good luck with your new job.
