I did it! I got the contact I interviewed for. I just need to go through reference checks and I'll start in a week. Everything has worked out and lined up for once.

This will get me on the other side of Christmas if I don't get anything else, and it will give me recent experience in the space I want to work in again.

Thanks everyone. This 2 weeks has gone from a rather stressful period to a kind of paid holiday by my old work. I'm ready to put clunky systems, sales teams, and clueless managers behind me. It's been great having this space to vent and get support from everyone while I've gone through this

That’s awesome and moved along quicker than I thought.

Congrats!

This has turned the termination into a blessing in disguise because I'd been speaking to recruiters and the biggest thing stopping me from moving into a contract was my notice period

Is it just a short term contract you’re getting? Any chance of it being extended?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it's about 6 months and these things do tend to get extended. I can put in for longer term things in that time or just see what happens where I am
