Who knew life could change so fast...AGAIN!
Well, it's happening. I've quit my job today. Well, I put in my resignation. I interviewed with another consulting firm, a smaller one here in Atlanta, and they came back with an offer of a 15% pay increase. I told them that I was looking for a 25% increase in order to move, and sure enough, the next day they came back with the full 25% offer. I was shocked, but apparently I did quite well in the interview, so I must have made a good impression.
So this morning I called my manager and told him the news. He wasn't upset and wanted to know if they could make a counter offer, but even if they did come back with a 30% salary increase, I don't think it would matter. I pretty much told him as much. It's kind of handy that I am on the bench here, so Friday will probably be my last day. I figure that I'll take a week of vacation and see how things go.
Hmmmm...I'm going to look into some vacations :)
