Finally, after 10 long months of wait, I have secured a move away from this city. It is going to be a huge change for me and a good one too. I am getting the opportunity to live in the city which they say is one of the best in the world.. Sydney..
I must say I am lucky to get this switch. Everything lined up for me at the right time. I found the vacancy, one of my teammates also informed me about it and said I should try, it looks good. I applied and within 3 weeks I had an interview and got an offer. In this whole process I received tremendous help from my team. I got valuable tips about negotiating the salary, I was given really good reference when the new employer called to check on me and my manager made all this possible.. She allowed them to talk to me about the position, she reviewed my new contract and made suggestions and told me how I should protect my own rights when I ran into a small glitch in this whole process...
I owe my team for this.. Honestly, I could never have asked for a better team and I doubt if I will ever get to work with such fantastic individuals again.. But I have to move on, I have my own goals and it is inevitable to move away from these people. Sooner or later it was going to happen and I am glad that I am doing it on a high note.
Apart from feeling sad about leaving my team, I am excited about the new role. It's a new city, new country and hopefully a lot of new and interesting work. I need to learn how to cook as well.. hehe.. :P
It won't be long before I move. I guess my next post will come from Sydney.. Till then, goodbye :)
