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 :comeon:

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! :blessed:

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

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 :russ: Also make my dad proud.

thats whats up breh.

when a nikka bounces back though :wow::mjcry: got damn.

I am sorry about your father breh.

I know what it´s like as a breh in Senior Management, it´s like systematic ´how do we keep this dude down´-itis all around. Every cac who sneezes is a genius, any amazing idea you have: hmm.... not sure.. hmm..

Props for focusing on trying to make something good happen.

Congrats on the new job breh! It´s a new day
:salute:

How did you ´pester´ them for the interview?

Basically my old boss was scrutinizing everything I did even though my performance was the same as others. It felt he was chastising me for asking questions. No matter, you have to find the right fit for where you're at. I just hate that technology is underrepresented and I rarely see a black face as a result even in so-called "liberal" cities.

My father dealt with the same shyt except he worked in Senior Management most his life.

Basically I was emailing them a lot like "Hey I applied for this position, I met XYZ at the networking event and I feel like I'd be a great fit for this role." Funny enough a recruiter contacted me in 2014 for this role and she remembered me :russ:

Even after the interviews I was like "What are the next steps?" Negotiations went well also. I think they liked that about me.
