Starting a full time job soon

Hello all. So I wanted to actually share some good news on this thread and that I start a full time job in a week. I was given the offer letter a few weeks ago but I wanted to hold off on my victory lap until things were finalized which happened today.

Some quick background first…

I got laid off back in April 2024 and stayed in unemployment hell until having found my current position until I shit you not April 2025. It started off as a three month contract but I have been fortunate that it kept getting renewed. However, full time has always been a goal of mine because honestly I don’t like my
employment to have an expiration date.

Now to current events….

I managed to get an interview with what will be my new company and interviewed with who will be my new boss. The interview went well and I got an email saying that I’ll be moving onto the next round and scheduled what I thought would be next round of the interview process. However what I wasn’t expecting was that the guy who interviewed me liked me so much that I got skipped straight to the offer stage and that has never happened to me before.

So yes, soon I will have a full time job again with actual benefits and vacation days. God I’ve missed vacation days.

I post this not to gloat so I hope that it doesn’t come off like that. I just wanted to share my good news with a community that if I’m being honest has kept me from going completely insane when I have been unemployed and dealing with recruiter jackoffs. I continue to be in solidarity with all of you and want you guys to know that the light at the end of the tunnel is there and I hope you guys find yours soon.

Peace ✌️
