Heard that grass is greener or something like that

It depends on why you make the move.

I wanted to be exposed to and work in the full deal process, rather than solely doing QoEs. I also knew that I would have no WLB, and knew the hours would increase (which probably even increased more than I truly expected it to).

But I’ve liked the switch, I find it much more interesting and meaningful. It’s extremely pressure driven, and the WLB is worse than I expected, but I’d make the move again.

What was the hardest part about the switch? Did you just do a lot of self study modeling to prepare for the interview/job itself?

Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.
