As anyone who has read this journal in the past 4-5 years might know, I've had numerous ups and downs with my current employer. Things go from bad to worse to tolerable, repeat. You're expected to live and breathe for the company who treats you like you're worthless and pays you like that. It's been one hell of a roller coaster ride. However, me having a degree in Photography, it has been difficult to get into the computer field. So an entry level tech support job not only got me the experience I needed, but also the promotions and education to move on. And it has finally happened.
Not only did I get a new job, but I got a new job that seems to be with an amazing company that actually appreciates its employees. The company is called My Yearbook. They are a social networking company, much like Facebook. Here are some of the benefits of working there: Located in New Hope (right next to Triumph Brewery), free gym membership, free Starbucks, catered lunches twice a month, catered dinners monday-thursday every week, softball team (they were very excited that I used to play), quarterly parties at Triumph, not to mention the $12,000 salary increase! The company just has a good vibe. They know how to get good work out of people. Needless to say, I am super excited! I will be a QA Analyst.
I admit that I will be a little sad to leave my current place. I've known these people for almost 5 years and am very comfortable there. There are a few that I genuinely like and will certainly miss. So while sad, I have to keep moving forward for the greater good! The current chapter may be ending, but a new, exciting chapter is about to begin!
