Two months ago, I took a leap of faith and quit my stable, but boring job to work for a start up. It has been a true leap of faith- so far things are going well and the pros outweigh the cons. I'm doing work that is different every day and actually requires me to not only have a degree, but use my knowledge and skill to make things happen. There still are some unknowns with it being a start up- we literally are working contract to contract and if our stream of contracts dries up, we will be done, which is unsettling at times. The flip side is that I get to work from home and have a lot of control over my schedule especially compared to my old job. This move has been perfect for our family, which really is what matters at this point.
My post from a few days before I started my new job outlined some projects that I anticipated doing in my new job. At this point, I've been focused on several things- related, but not exactly the stuff that I thought I would be doing. I've also learned that in the start up world, things change constantly and often several times during the work day. I know that is part of what excites me about this work- even when I'm working on a project that is mundane. I'm excited to see where this takes me as it's been an adventure in every sense of the word. Onward and upward!
