I didn't really think it would ever come to this but as always shit happens. I'm no longer happy with my current job. If you asked me how I felt about my job a month ago I would have probably said content. The question is what transpired since then that changed my mind? The answer is simple, discrepancy between pay and responsibility. The thing that irks me the most is the fact that they know about this discrepancy and aren’t willing to do anything about it. It didn't help that one of my close friends told me how much his new employer is paying him. Simply put, I need to be making a lot more money.
I met and talked to quite a number of headhunters the past couple of days. I'm not a fan of contract positions and a quite few of them were looking for contractors. One of them wanted to push me to a contract to hire position that pays 96K. I made myself clear to him and others that I was only seeking permanent positions with good benefits. What can I say? I like steady income! We'll see how things turn out. One thing is for sure, I'm not looking forward to turning in my resignation. I'm pretty sure my bosses will try to workout something to get me to stay but I’m not sure what I'll say to them when they do. I just hope it won't be as rough as I envision it to be.
