The One With the Count Down (part 2) 

"When is your last day??"

Yups.. I'm resigning from my current and second job.. which I joined last year.. like a Dejavu, last Raya I was temporary jobless, so does this year..

Some people questioning my decision.. is it all about the money?? For some, you may be noticed i've stroke the 'underpaid' in my bio.. well actually.. the underpaid thingy was just an internal joke between us.. Relatively, I was overpaid equally paid.. but can't openly admit it in front some friends who would demand a dinner treat at Victoria Station, I claimed I was underpaid.. hehe.. yup.. it is true.. it is not about the money..

When I was resigning from my first job, I had a chat with the big boss (also Sha's cousin).. He encouraged my decision on joining this company coz one of us (Sha and I) need a stable job.. and of course this company paid much better.. but he also advised me not to stay for too long.. He said I should go for a vendor company and doing functional rather than technical.. At first, I decided to give myself two years at most..

Last two months, I tried to check my market value by unpreparedly walking in an interview for a contract job.. I was a bit shocked.. coz i did relate my experience in my first job a lot more than my second.. I realised I didnt make a major progress as what I did before.. I'm not satisfy with myself..

Actually, working environment in here is very convenient.. friendly colleagues.. hassle-free traffic.. easy parking.. but being the only in-house programmer is somehow tough.. I couldn't gain experience that much compared to my first job.. Back then, I got other colleagues to share ideas and knowledge.. here, I need to give much more than I can take..

I think I failed damn big time in that interview.. but thank god I got my wake up call.. I need a new job.. now or never..

I got another interview in a consulting company a week after that, and I guessed that time I was more prepared.. Got another call-up few days after that.. Once I received the offer letter , I tendered my resignation with a month notice.. I will bid goodbye to this company on the 19th.. I will start my new job on the 22nd.. a new job, a new office, a new experience.. I got to go shopping for a new me.. :P *wink*
