Preparing to return to NYC
I finally submitted my resignation letter on Monday. It was hard to do because telling people that you are going to leave them is ALWAYS hard. But, I did it. My husband(Jia) and I are excited about the new adventures ahead of us. We see tons of opportunities, and a chance to live a fuller life.
My husband is excited about joining a new company where he can continue to grow as an android engineer. He is passionate about it, and there is no doubt about it. As I am typing this here, he is working on 1 of his 3 apps. It is just really rewarding to see the smile on his face as he solves one problem after another. He said, this is what he enjoys doing. He enjoys problem solving, and he enjoys learning new things, and he thinks never becoming a project manager is the way to motivate himself to continue to learn in this field. He has seen his friends having a hard time landing on a job because they have been hands-off for too long, and a lot of job opportunities prefer their candidates to have strong computer science skills and some project management skills, over someone who have project management skills with not so competitive computer science skills. So, he will have tons of opportunities in NYC.
As for me, I will be joining an engineering consulting firm in NYC. For once in a long long time, I feel appropriately compensated. I am excited about the future in this company and in this industry. The possibility of becoming a PE is becoming more clear. Yay! I am certainly excited about it. I will be doing things similar to what I do here, except it will be much more exciting. There will be more opportunities to do job surveys, more opportunities to deal with contractors, and more challenges, and more… And who doesn’t want to live their life to the fullest, right? I look forward to being back. I look forward to getting back together with family and friends, and helping my husband to establish his circle of friends.
First day here at Medium, testing it out, and hoping to find a place that is user-friendly, and simple to write. Ever since the closed down of xanga, I have stopped writing. I sure miss that feeling of putting my feelings in words(although I am not a good writer at all). I am excited, and I hope this is it! 2015 has come and will be gone soon. Is it true, the older we get, the faster time passes? And, if I don’t write it down, will life pass by too fast for me to remember?
Today, we are spending the day at home doing some productive things. As for me, finding a good blogging platform, and joining some fire protection engineering groups. It is going to be a great day today. We are going to give 2015 a happy ending :)
The following are my husband’s apps :)
