My impending job change

Hi all. I am back from a very long break from blogging. The main reason being that I am in the middle of a job change: interviews, juggling my present job while taking time off for attending the interviews, deciding between offers and resignation. End of this month, I will be out of my present company and in a new company.

I have got a 60% hike J, way more than I expected. That combined with the fact that my commute will be cut in half, will lead to a pretty tidy saving per month. My work load will be way more, but I have promised myself a less strenuous job after my next change (not before 4 years, if everything goes well). So that will be just as well.

And the learning opportunities are immense here. I had another offer, which would have paid more, because I would be onsite for a long time. But then it would be the same work that I have been doing all this while. So I opted for the former offer.

The only expense of the job change is going to be the transport costs for attending interviews all over Bangalore and going to office on weekends to make up for my time off. I also plan to buy some formal work clothes. All in all, I plan to spend Rs.10 K. So I hope to see a real cool increase in my net worth by this year end.
