I Got A New Job

L&S

Guess who’s re-employed? Me! Before Christ­mas, I had inter­viewed with two com­pa­nies and had got­ten two offers. One com­pany was a smaller, web-centered, IT place. The other was a PR and mar­ket­ing firm with a large web devel­op­ment depart­ment. I took a long time mak­ing my deci­sion, crunch­ing num­bers, try­ing to decide what I absolutely needed to live on. There were a lot of fac­tors to con­sider: the new apart­ment (which is a con­sid­er­able change in rent charge), get­ting mar­ried, new bills, the pos­si­bil­ity of a sec­ond income, and more. I finally accepted an offer from Lawrence & Schiller, the PR and mar­ket­ing com­pany, and they’ve wel­comed me with open arms.

I really enjoy it there. It’s a great work­ing envi­ron­ment that has the sta­bil­ity of a large com­pany but the flex­i­bil­ity of a small com­pany. I do web-related and programming-related tasks mostly. It was a slow first week, but it has now ramped up pretty well.

The only redeemable qual­ity that my old job had was the peo­ple. I was good friends with every­one involved, and there were only a few of us, so that made us even tighter. I won­dered how (and if) I would make friend­ships at my new place, but it’s still small enough that I had all kinds of peo­ple giv­ing me wed­ding advice and ask­ing how things went.

I love my new job.
