Just signed my offer letter brehs. :salute:

[ViShawn]

The past few months have been tumultuous to say the least. I was at a job where my boss HATED me. I told you guys about it a bit. Being the only black guy at that senior level there also and the treatment I was getting I felt it was personal.

He put me on a PIP while I was there saying I need to work on my performance

I was terminated late June.

Late July my father goes into the hospital after a cardiac event. Early August he dies so a week later my family and I are burying him.

I am interviewing but things are slow. I got a verbal offer early September which later proves to be worthless because I end up waiting only to here there's a hiring freeze.

Discouraged I still interview. Pester to get an interview for a role in the Software / Technology space which I work in.

After being screened and having a five hour on-site interview I got that shyt!

Slightly less than I was making at my last role base salary BUT wit the bonus + RSUs it's a sweet ass package

Just glad to have this behind me and now I start next week. Going to bust in those does showing everyone who the fukk I am Also make my dad proud.

Congratulations but how does it work when you have to explain you have been fired from your last job? I know it's not the end of the world but you would think it was at least back in the day

Well...getting fired isn't a death sentence. I am in an At Will state. I can be terminated for any reason to be honest. I do think though that when I interviewed at IBM and one of the guys name dropped my manager that I would probably not get in there because the tech field here is pretty small.

I think over the course of many careers though there's a chance you will be fired or laid off from them. I told them that my last environment wasn't for ME personally. They took it well though.

Congrats'n'shyt. It's good to see people making a come up in such a monumentally shytty year such as this one.

Thank you!
