So, I started a new job almost 2 months ago. I started to look for one since I wasn't doing much in my last one. I started there as a software developer, and by the start of this year I was only doing tech support and after 4 years, I only got one salary rise just before my boss quit (I felt like it was his parting gift to me).
By last year someone convinced my boss to invest in a ERPI stayed there because there was the possibility of starting a new project, but after half a year I decided to look for a new job and started sending my resume. In one of the places that I sent my resume was a guy that knows my ex boss and asked him about me, and by the time it just happens that someone working with him quit, so he offered me a job.
At this job the pay wasn't that much higher, although it had better benefits and I would have the opportunity to learn a lot of new things. So far, I have been looking into proximity marketing, I'll need to learn to program in C and how WiFi and Bluetooth works, beacons, I'll need to learn how to modify routers and access points (through OpenWrt), I'll probably need to learn a few things of Android Development... and who knows what else. Those are only the things I have in mind right now.
When my boss told me about this opportunity, I didn't hesitate to say yes, it was either work on what I have been working for the past 4 years or the opportunity to learn new things. It was an easy choice. Although the pay on the other jobs I found was very attractive, but since I have no other responsibilities other than myself, I decided to learn instead of more money (which I hope learning all that will give me more money in the future, lol).
The only thing I don't like is that I need to take the bus and commute for like an hour, but I might look for another place soon.
