I know it’s been quite a bit since I’ve written here or updated my status. Thankfully, I do have a new job. I started as the Director of IT Operations for UHY in April.
It was a longer process than anyone would have liked it to be, but I’m incredibly happy here. Even knowing that I was a bit over a barrel financially, I was offered a very competitive salary. The benefits are as good or better than any I’ve had and the commute to the office is about 10 minutes. A 10 minute commute in Houston is practically unheard of, and I’m one of those weirdos that like going into the office, even though I could work from home several days a week. I just feel like I get more focused time to get things done and then I can separate from work and relax. It’s really been a better job than I could have hoped for last year when I found myself suddenly looking.

I’ve got a small team that reports to me and I get to be at least a little hands-on still, which is kind of unusual for this level of role. It’s been a real blessing and I’m absolutely thankful to have landed the role.
