After around 127 applications and 1 interview, I’ve finally received an offer!
I’ve been applying for jobs for the past 7 months, all in the hopes to complete my exit strategy and leave my current job, which I’ll finally be leaving this month. I am pretty much leaving my current job at the worst state it’s ever been so needless to say I’m very relieved. Multiple other employees have also been trying to exit for months, so it goes to show how lucky I am to even be able to execute my exit strategy, especially knowing the current job market. The boss is very toxic and has continuously broke labour laws so it’s no wonder no one can stand being employed by him. He’s also overall the least liked boss we’ve ever had by a long shot.
For so long in my job search it has looked bleak and only looked like I would be stuck at my current job. I am so glad that after so long I can finally put an end to the chapter that is my current job, especially after all I’ve been through. Now onto greater things. At my new job my salary is better with benefits, and the work culture is great as well. It’s going to be such a huge improvement over my current job to the point it will be a heaven and hell difference. Excited for this opportunity that has been a light of hope in so much darkness. I thought 2026 may just be another year where nothing changes for the better no matter how I try, but I’m so glad and grateful that it actually will!
