Time to move on?
June 19th, 2008 | by audit |Have you ever had that feeling that your just stale in your current job and not really important anymore? If so then welcome to my world. I think I’ll be updating my resume tonight and sending it out to some old recruiters. Maybe it’s just because I’m within a year of that 40 mark in my life and feel that it’s time for me to get with a company where I’m not the only IT guy. It’s not fair to my family for me to be grouchy every night when I come home and not able to give my wife and kids a vacation because I’m on call 24/7/365/366.
I love the work that I do but doing EVERYTHING in IT is getting be burned out and fast. I need set vacation days where I know that I have x amount of days that I can take and not need to worry about only being able to go so far away from home in case someone can’t print, they need a file restored, someone’s Blackberry isn’t working right, a piece of spam came through the filters, etc.
Oh well, my wife wants me to stay because of the $ that I make but I think it’s time to make her understand that if I continue like this, she’ll be feeding me though a straw not so far in the future.
