Description: Chronicling our FI journey
Chronicling our FI journey
I accepted a new job a week into our new home. It was a though call – leaving a comfortable job (and a good manager). But I’d been with the old job for over five years, and not having any managerial aspirations meant that there wasn’t any place higher to go. I was also not in the right industry. In that, I was measuring things no one should really care about, like internet speed.
After two years of promising interviews, I finally had an offer from the city – if there were jobs left and right, as was written all over the place, I did not see them. I have a title that fits what I do, and launches me in the direction I want to take. So even though the pay is only marginally better, the growth potential is superior. Most importantly, I’m working with such diverse and relatable metrics like crime rates, water treatment and cost of french fries.
