So quite out of the blue I find myself with a new job.
What happened was the company I currently work for sold off their UK design center (which was originally the company I first joined years and years ago that got bought out a few years back) to another company who make things like SSD’s as part of that I got moved over.
I was offered the choice not to move but since that would leave me supporting basically old products with no new stuff coming out (since all of that was what was sold to the new outfit) I couldn’t see much of a future in that role. I would be pretty secure for a while till they EOL’d the chips and then that would likely be it.
Anyway the upshot of this is finding myself with a new job at a new company without expecting it and without any details. I don’t know what I’ll be doing, who I’ll be working for, or really anything about how the transition will go.
It’s all a little intimidating. Long term it feels like the right move but right now there are so many unknowns it’s a bit much. At least I know I’m still employed and the new company are based nearby so I don’t have to move but at the moment that’s really all I know.
I’ll let you all know how it pans out.
