After several years of pining for forward motion in my career, it has finally happened! When I got laid off from my previous job, I figured I was doomed to go backwards or be stuck in the same rut for another year. Then I was offered my current role, but it was originally listed as a lower position. The step backward I had been fearing. Luckily my new manager saw some serious potential and upped the position so that it would be a step forward for me! Oh happy day! I even negotiated a raise out of it, with the idea that another increase was possible if I performed to expectations. Well, at work I perform very well! Outside of work is not up for discussion! ;-) So last week I had my 90-day review and, needless to say, it went well. So I earned that extra bump in pay, and I got a promotion! Its like I skipped the step I had been waiting years for the step where I knew I was supposed to be by now. It feels amazing...
But, I haven't closed things with the Complicated situation. I don't know what to do, and the person I would ask is the person trying to tempt me away.
