After now over 17 months without regular steady employment (consulting work and finishing my master’s), I am re-entering full-time employment this coming week.
Strangely enough, I thought that I would leave the software world and pursue a non-profit career, but it turned out that this is not where God would have me turn. So here I am, ready to tackle software again. I am quite excited, knowing that this company operates very differently from my last company. It is privately held, not publicly traded, and I sense in my conversations that there is a lot of the thinking and working as it was the case when I first joined my last company. This is truly good, as I treasure a work environment where people still care about both employees and customers. Not to say that my old company did not do that, but it certainly felt as if it was becoming a thing of the past.
Knowing that this is a re-start for me, I am anticipating a learning curve from a meeting new colleagues and customers perspective as well as from a software knowledge perspective, but I am exceedingly grateful that God would lead me to a company where I sense the clock is still ticking in normal pace – and where I can live out my faith well by being a loyal and hardworking employee.
Thanks be to God!
