I accepted a job offer yesterday. [View all]

I will be getting my 1st raise since 2021, a pretty jaw dropping (to me anyway) 17%.

The new company actually went to the top of my desired range and added 1K.

I start on March 2nd

It's gonna be tough to relearn processes/systems after so long with my last company, but... that last company was shitty.

Honestly, I'm glad to be shut of them.

Yay me.
