The last few days have been some of the most stressful I've ever had. I've decided to leave my 6 year career at General Electric. I don't like to mention my current employer on my blog, so I can't tell you where I'm going. Of course my friends and colleagues know where I'm going, or will shortly.
It was not an easy decision. GE has some of the best benefits including great healthcare, 401k, AND a pension. However, I think that this new position fits in better with my long term goals. It's also a smaller company, which has many advantages. Things get done quickly, and you can have a sense of accomplishment and ownership. I get to do exactly what I love, with a great group of people.
Giving my notice wasn't easy. My colleagues seemed depressed and stressed out, but they'll be fine. This decision was for me and my family, and I think that people understand that.
In my new position, I'm going to be leading a team of ASP.NET developers to build a new generation of web sites. Some of these sites are public, and some are internal for specific customers. I should be able to keep on blogging about the challenges and solutions relating to .NET and C#.
