Well, here I sit, a few days before Thanksgiving and few weeks before the fat guy in the red suit comes, deciding why on God’s green Earth did I decide to jump jobs. The first thing that came to mind was, “What the hell are you thinking man, the holidays are coming up and you’re beginning a new position?! Do you not like your free time?!” I retort with, “Yes, I do like my free time, but career growth and fun projects take precedence.”
As of Friday, I accepted a new position with a small, yet growing company by the name of Siteworx. My new position will be much more rapid in growth and scale of work over my last job, and should offer a huge learning curve and many fun projects in the near and distant future. Making the jump was a difficult decision. My current position didn’t allow for much growth and the contract I was on, although fun, wasn’t always engaging. Mind you, I’m not complaining in the least bit because I met and worked with some great people while on the contract, I just thought it was time for a change.
With this change comes an adjustment of time management and multi-multi tasking abilities with my work habits. I’m definitely looking forward to the challenge and for things to come. I will be updating my about section and resume in the coming weeks to reflect the change in my career path in regards to title and position. My offer letter stated “Information Architect” but the title for the job description was “Information Architect/Project Manager.” I’m not sure which will effectively be my title, if either or both, but it will be something along those lines.
Wish me luck and keep your eyes peeled for updates. In the past, I know I’ve always said I would update everyone, but my projects didn’t really warrant an update. With what I’ve been told about this company, I look for many updates to come, at least after the launch of some projects I should be working on.
