10 months ago I accepted a full time role, big pay cut, good insurance and fun gaming software company.
Big cultural changes for me moving to a mid-sized subsidiary of a France based HQ. Best practices are wanted on the surface - but when we get right down to it - would be too much of a pain for the business. I'm trying to drink the kool-aid without lowering my standards. I have worked with large companies needing to build best practices, processes, use their business transaction data to understand patterns of customer and product activity to increase profitability.
Upside - few consultants - they hire people for their family.
When I took the job - mom told me "baby, you've been dating for too long - this company wants to "get married" - you take the offer". Ok momma - but wow is it taking a long time to deal with this new relationship.
It does feel good to be working - better that I have stability, a 401k, the concept that this is long term (even though I know that can change). Still stressors but they are different.
And talking to those still looking for work - it is a journey - preserve yourselves.
stay tuned
