New Job

Today, after almost 10 years I’ve put in my papers to change jobs.

On March 22, 2018 I accepted an offer from a new employer in a different industry, and today (March 23rd) I put in my notice.

This will be my 6th job in 21 years, so I’m not exactly a frequent changer, and this wasn’t the easiest decision.

But, there are a number of positive things coming as part of the new position:

1. Much shorter commute (about 15 miles less one way)
2. Several co-workers I already know (although with those characters that might be mixed )
3. An escape from cubicles
4. A nice mix of things I’m already familiar with and new products/experiences.

In discussions with IT leadership at the new employer, the main things I’ll be working on to start with are:

• Implementing ConfigMgr/SCCM
• Deploying Solarwinds Orion
• Helping the current team:
  • pay off technical debt
  • clear out backlogged requests/projects
  • homogenize and stabilize environment

I’ll be starting the new position on April 9th, so after that expect some new posts on the new environment and my projects.
