Accepted a new job this morning, starting 11/1.
13 years with my current company, but this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up.

Moving from IT in the oilfield industry,to a heavy equipment service company in a management role.

Good thoughts & payers appreciated, it's a little scary of a change, but I'm excited to get it going.

Good job! Onwards and upwards!!

Indeed! Good luck!!

Good luck!

Congrats! I wish you well.

Is the drive to the new office going to be manageable as the old drive?

Best of luck with your new endeavor!

Fully remote, with a bit of travel.
So, the commute is from bed to my kitchen

Congrats! Prayers for an excellent transition!

Congratulations and good luck on your new venture. Speaking from the experience of making the successful leap from a 20 year career into a completely different new career, you can do this!

Happy for you! A planned career change shows true grit.

That's great!

Often, the commute in Houston traffic is the most stressful part of the day. For example, I home officed today and the stress free 25 yard commute was great.

And your commute is less than half of my current drive.
I'll have a bit of travel, but not a lot, at least initially. Mostly for closing larger jobs where it makes more sense to meet in person.

Excellent news! Congratulations, good luck, and all the great wishes.

Congrats.

Enjoy the new challenges.

If you value your waistline you might want to
rethink that Kitchen office! LOL

Congratulations on the new job, since the weather is
about to turn, sounds like a great time to sit on your
back porch, burn a cigar and work from there!

Well, the kitchen is adjacent to the office.

Not sure on the weather turning, yet. We're doe for >90* & humid today.

A change of scenery can make things a lot more enjoyable.
Good luck with your new adventure.

You'll do fine. IT is all about problem solving. Much of management's responsibility is problem solving. You'll just be doing it in a different way now

What did you do in IT if you don't mind me asking?

Now for the important question - how are you going to celebrate this occasion? New motorcycle, new gun, or other?
