job update!

[♥ms.pacman♥]

So I posted last month after doing a few rounds of interviews at an awesome company for a new job --well, after some weeks of anxiously waiting, this week i finally got the job offer!!
Compensation-wise, they are giving me what I asked for (which my sweet DH had literally laughed off as an absurd amount). Starting salary alone is way more than I make now. Huge sign-on bonus, plus stock, additional bonuses...AND....they decided to give me a title one level HIGHER than what i had interviewed for, reporting directly to the boss of the hiring manager

Job is 100% remote, 5 wks vacation + 1 wk sick/personal time + holidays. Almost no travel, unless i want to.
I am GOBSMACKED.

It took a little while to get the offer the original role I had interviewed wasn't a perfect fit but interviewer was so impressed by me and my experience he sent my resume around to a few VPs, one was very interested and then had one of his directors set up the next round of interviews. After that they had to create a new position/requisition specifically for me and get all the approvals etc.

I cannot believe it.
I feel like freaking Cinderella.

It is amazing feeling to feel valued, and like you have amazing potential. It is incredible.
although i'm also rather nervous about it ! And hoping I can measure up to expectations. It will be different from my current job in many ways (which probably is a good thing!!)

So to all you ladies who may be on a rough job-seeking journey and/or are struggling to feel seen and appreciated where you currently are...please don't give up hope. I KNOW how incredibly frustrating and soul-crushing t can be, even in this market. It is SO hard not to take it personally after so many rejections, after so many microaggressions and indications that you are not valued). I realize now, the right place for you is out there, you just have to find it AND, know your worth!!

I’d give the Boss’ boss this article. Be honest, you’ve discussed promotion several times and they gave you nothing, so you’re leaving for a higher position elsewhere.

Congrats on the new job!! It’s been a search but it sounds great for you
