I got a job offer! What I can’t believe is 1) it is from a global company; Company A and 2) it is for exactly the role that I want to do; solutions architect/sales engineer.

I’m shocked, I can’t sleep because I’m just so excited! I’m going to be on an OTE based salary now because I’m properly entering into the world of sales, but my salary will be a nice uplift to what I’m currently on, plus I get a company car or a car allowance, whichever one I choose, probably the car allowance.

Telis has also gotten a huge salary increase so at this point we’re both doing pretty well. Ok, very well. Our combined salary is crazy, considering we’re both 30 and under.

I think having two global companies on my resume will be very advantageous for my future. As shit as working at Company H is, and I can’t wait to fucking leave, it is known worldwide and is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, in its industry. At least one good thing has come from working there.

I can just see me handing in my notice, trying not to smile but beaming nonetheless. That motherfucker who I call my boss can kiss my arse. I did what I set out to do and I am leaving that hell hole. Granted, I will wait until I sign the contract before I hand in my notice but my days are literally numbered and that’s enough to keep me euphoric.

I do have an interview on Monday with another company, Company V. It too is a huge company and they’d probably pay me well also. I’ll go for it and see what comes of it.

To be honest, this week has been crazy, I had two interview on Tuesday, one for Company A and the other for an IoT managed services company. I’ve also booked the venue and the person who will marry Telis and me. I was up in my university city on Wednesday “inspiring” generation Z’ers and then Thursday, I met with recruiters to discuss what I was looking for. Today I then get an offer following Tuesdays interview. It’s just all been so unexpected but I’m happy.

I’ve achieved what I wanted for this year – a new job. Last year, it was to pass my driving test. Next year it’s to get married and fall pregnant (although that’s a huge expectation to set on myself, especially if we struggle). Then the year after, it’s to buy a house! I think we can do it all.

I love Telis. Our life is beautiful and he’s so good to me. I’m just so happy with how everything is going. I think I have to thank God because this is all so amazing what I’ve been able to achieve. I’m grateful.

Well done Dera. You deserve it.
