Tomorrow I give notice I'm leaving my job. →[More:]I've been recruited to a new job. One that doesn't involve programming: business manager for a retail business. I'm looking forward to the different work and pleased to no longer be involved with data analysis and programming. I have been having more and more trouble sustaining the sort of concentration necessary for the complex work I've been doing.
I'm ambivalent about the transition period as I have clients whom I like and have enjoyed working with. Hence I am giving two weeks notice with the request to shorten the period as much as possible. I have one project uncompleted that I should be able to wrap up by the end of the week.
I have no idea how my soon-to-be old boss is going to take the news. He's been one of the best people I've worked with, but the economics of the situation have become unsupportable.
So wish me luck. I will probably be even lower profile than usual for at least a couple of weeks.
