After a short year and a half at my current company, today I am resigning. I accepted an offer from a large medical carrier in Portland. Honestly, I can't wait to be out of here. The travel has been exhausting, both physically and emotionally. My kids have had a hard time with mommy always leaving. The times I have taken them with me have been great but the constant car rides to unknown destinations have taken it's toll on us all. So today, I am resigning effective immediately... Because I have to. The offer I accepted is from a competing company and because of this, I am unable to give any proper notice and have to leave right away. I've known about the offer for about a week but knowing that I would be walked out as soon as I gave notice, I wanted to have a few days to tie up loose ends to work my desk to make sure I am not landing anyone with my meetings and my projects.
I am relieved. Or I will be in a few minutes when I make that phone call. I even get a few days at home in transition and I can't tell you how much they are needed. I have worked my butt off for this company and unfortunately, they haven't reciprocated for me. This new opportunity will be perfect for me; I will be in a higher position with less travel and they have offices all over the NW so if I ever get to move to Seattle, I can still transfer over without changing companies again. I believe this is all a good move for me, and I can't wait to get started - after my mini at-home vacation!
So here goes nothing. Better make that call. Wish me luck!
