posted by AutomatikOnly 2 months in, but it’s been going well.
I make my own hours with minimal oversight. It’s been an adjustment but I’m enjoying it.
Some travel coming up but not terrible. Going to Dallas next week for the first time.
Hard 8 and Pecan Lodge.

Stayed at the Statler. Great hotel and service.
Was there 90% of the time and went to the Truck Yard (awesome place). Overall meh AF city. Stupid humid and annoying bugs. Would not recommend.
Went to Tulsa last week and Napa is next. I did not expect this much travel, but I'm cool with it....for now We are scaling at a crazy rate and I'm hyped.

sounds crazy, but Tulsa is in my top 5 of best cities in the US. I really enjoy it every time I go there.

Hopefully a big change in salary do go along with it?

Curious, did something change with the job/employer? or not change? or just time to move on? I seem to remember you being very happy there.

There was an increase in compensation.

The last 4-5 months have been miserable, I just needed to move on.

Getting all of the "congrats, I'm so happy for your move" messages have been tough. But it's nice to know you work with people that genuinely want what's best for you.

Except for the bosses?

I got a bunch of gifts/cards on the way out of my last gig. It was a very humbling experience.

No, they've all been great. I golfed with one of them last night.

I still go back and forth almost daily about looking for something new. It's gotten better, but the first few months of every new engagement are always miserable with the hours and stress. And some engagements only last 6-8 weeks :(
When I crunch the numbers, every two years of this allows me to retire a year earlier. 6 years vs. 9 years in a more comfortable job really doesn't seem like a good trade-off. The only real upside I see is if I can leverage my current gig into a semi-retired contract or Board position I could make that move in a few years.

Last three days at the current job. Very weird feeling.

Started my new job yesterday. We’ll see how this goes.

Summer’s are nice but also pretty needed

First week of the new gig is over. I was a little worried the first two days, but by the end of the week I was a lot more comfortable. It's an absolutely massive change to what I'm used to and will still take some time to adjust, but I feel a lot better about it now that I did on Wednesday morning when I woke up. That said, I'd be shocked if I stayed here for 8 years like my last job. I'd like to give it a year and then evaluate the market.

Had an interview on Friday. Left with mixed feelings. Don't know if I will accept if offered.
