The job

I feel as though I am obligated to tell you about my job and what my job will be in New York...is that weird? Probably.

I work in the staffing industry.
I wear a headset. See unfortunate picture.

Does that make me a nerd? Yes.
Do I sometimes tell people I'm a gamer when they see it at home? Yes.

Case in point, I have to talk a lot on the phone at work and it just makes my life easier.

(Also, full disclosure on that photo--We were having a contest at work and I was on the Christmas team...my pants are red and so am I with embarrassment.)

I started working with my company in 2010 as a little, baby recent grad. I had about 7 minutes to act like a recent grad and then shaped up so I wouldn't get chopped (sorry Food Network).

I do the business development side of things not the recruiting part.

Regardless, it's been an amazing ride but I started to feel as though I was plateauing in my position. It was getting warm and fuzzy and comfortable. Which is awesome, but for some bizarre reason feels wrong to me.

A mentor of mine mentioned there was an opening in New York. I noodled over the idea for an evening and then jumped/sprinted/attacked the opportunity. I interviewed with the team and it seemed like a good fit!

I'm starting my new position on January 2nd. I will still be doing business development for the company but in the New York market.

Am I excited? Yup.
Will it be a challenge? Definitely.
Am I scared of failing? Sure.
Will I fail? I better not because NY is way too expensive...!
Do I feel like it's the right move for now? Yes. And that's what matters.
