Another chapter about to close, a new one about to start
A few months back, Softwaremaker asked me a question, "Am I happy?". And that triggered a series of events that never in my career happened before to me. Already stressed with house matters and marriage preparation, I am put under more pressure as it is a first time I have to choose between two jobs that I like. Company A offers me a chance to become an architect, while company B offeres me a chance to make a difference in the portal team.
Lots of things to consider, and while company B has been in my radar ever since I graduated from Polytechnic, the fact that opportunity in company A is very rare, and the chance to work with Softwaremaker really ease some of the worries I had with regards to company A.
After much consideration, I have decided to bite the bullet and accepted the offer from company A, and not look back. Went to purchase a powerful desktop even though I shouldn't have as there are other needs to meet, so that I can spend my two weeks break, learning the new features of MOSS that came out after Beta 1TR, and get ready for a new job.
Early this week, I met up with Softwaremaker, and he broke the news to me that he is leaving the company. I think my face got the word "Shock" printed all over my face. He started assuring me that I will do well in company A, and we will still get lots of chances to work together.
Softwaremaker, I've said this in my wedding, that I'm very grateful for all the advices and guidance you have given me in the past. And I am even more grateful of the things you have done for me, with regards to this career move. No words can express my gratidude to you. And I'm looking forward to the future!
