Once again, a new job opportunity fell into my lap that really puts me in the driver seat of leading a department. In this case, a former coworker I met for dinner casually mentioned that her company was seeking to build out a new role. A few weeks later, I got an email from her saying the company had indeed decided to move forward with the position and frankly it piqued my interest. Needless to say, I was hired on. I’ll be leaving a lot of friends behind at my previous company, but hope to stay in touch.
