Ch-Ch-Changes!

So, I have decided to leave the Gorilla Companies, LLC. While I do love the company and couldn't ask for better co-workers...I feel like I have outgrown my position and need to break out of my little cocoon. This is something that I had only been contemplating for a while, but just a week ago I experience a whirlwind of events that culminated into my final decision. A close friend of mine has worked for a great company for the past 8 years and they are practically never hiring, well on a whim I thought I would look up their website and see what was out there. There was an open position at the Tempe branch for Operations Analysis so I decided to submit my resume that morning (that was on September 12). A few hours later my phone rings and it is a recruiter asking me to come in on Monday September 15 for an interview. I interview and leave around lunchtime, the interview lasted about an hour. 30 minutes later I get a call from the recruiter again asking me to come back on Thursday September 18 for a second interview with the Director of Operations. Eeeek, at this point I am pretty excited. I went to the second interview that lasted about 35 minutes. And the next morning September 19, they job offered me! The base salary they offered was exactly what I was looking for, so I was so glad that I didn't have to counter or mess with that. The benefits are great, with the option to work from home from time to time and it is a non-exempt position, so yay for overtime! I put in my two weeks notice with Gorilla that same day. It is very sad for me and the rest of the company to deal with, but I feel this is in my best interest. Gorilla is currently working on a counter offer, but I don't think they will be able to match this other company and I think I have plain just made up my mind!

I start on October 6, 2008 and while I am a little nervous I am definately excited!!!
