I quit my job
I am now unemployed.
My job required that I sign a 3-year non-compete contract by last Friday, which didn't seem like a good deal in my opinion. I had been interviewing with other places in the meantime, so I had planned for this in advance, if I did not want to sign it. I did get an offer from a reputed bank on the Street, contingent on them getting final approval from one of the partners. My new job will be more fixed-income related trading. Either way, I probably won't be working for at least 2 weeks as I transition to a new job. Moreover, expect me to finally me completely gone from POG. My new job probably will have hours like 7 AM to 10 PM. Yay for no social life! Any questions? I'm sitting at home right now. I have no idea what to do.

Re: I quit my job
Yeah I might want to take some time off too. I have enough money to stay solvent. I'm thinking either a vaca or just some reading and learning. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

my only advice is to not take a job that has hours like 7am-10pm. you need a life outside of work [/ QUOTE ] unless you get like thursday -> sunday off. I could be convinced to do 3 15 hours days a week.

Are those types of contracts standard in your industry? [/ QUOTE ] no not really, which is why I left. Oh, and I am still young (23). This work seems really interesting and lucrative. Probably very few weekends, and the workload gets less as the tenure increases. Plus, I plan on retiring by 35, so I need to make the bling now. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
