A new beginning
Happy New Year! I know its already 11 days into the new year, but nevertheless.....
Anyway, I have been pondering and dwelling into this for sometime, and finally I submitted my resignation in my current job today.Its really a mixed feeling, as I have been here for 5 1/2 years, and it has been comfortable. But after 5 years, I looked at career progression etc etc etc and decided that I need a change. Its amazing how once I made up my mind to leave, several offers came and I was deciding between 2. So, as of now, I have tendered my resignation, turned down one offer and accpeted another. It feels so draining as there was so much to think about.
Career wise, I am not interested in rising up to the top of the ladder as my priorities are with my girls. All I need is a good stable job, pays well enough so I can shop at Baby Gap or Mothercare without feeling guilty, and a good work life balance so I have time for my family and a job which I can happily wake up to every morning.
So I guess I have made the right choice. There's no turning back now. Looks like I started 2008 with a big change, but for the better.
Wish me luck!!
