Hey Folks, thanks so much for the support. Just and update and closure to this thread. Ive received an offer at a similar chip design company and will be responding to it accepting next week. Flew out to interview this past week, great company, pretty much they are in the same spot that my current company was in 5 years ago in terms of challenges, so looking forward to guiding them through all our mistakes to make them better. We have been talking for a few weeks, they were willing to wait until i got my severance and push out the start date. Unfortunately, my current company internally transferred me into another group, but my scope diminished drastically. So its time to move on. Now comes the hard part, which is giving my notice, and start handing over the projects that are still ongoing. I might take a few weeks off before the start of my new position. I do want to thank everyone for the advice and words of encouragement. Im actually really excited about this change, something i realized i havent felt about my job in a long time.
Anyways, signing bonus..... the troopy needs some work, stay tuned for some changes!
