I was recently laid off along with >30% of the company.

I really liked the job, I had full autonomy to do whatever I wanted. Research new tech, optimize our existing infrastructure, etc. I was the sole SysAdmin and I ran the operations very well. The problem: Pay was stagnate. The pay was decent for my region, but a far cry from larger metro areas and others with my skills.

So I started looking online and found a great opportunity. As a bonus: The pay is $50k+ MORE then what I was making before.

And I still work from home.

So, yes I did feel underpaid; now I don't.



Will you feel underpaid 6 months from now?


No, this is a life changing opportunity for me. I'll make the most of it and when this contract ends, it sets a new bar for other opportunities.
