So it appears that I've been successful in my interview last week. It's about a 2 month contracting process, but both my managers are happy to be referees.

More money, longer contract and more importantly, no one reports to me!!!!

@Gibsonhasafluffybutt good luck today. You got this shit.

This is wonderful news. So happy for you. πŸ’πŸΎ

Thank you, still have to go through some governmental hoops until I get the formal offer, but already have stuff in writing.

Feels pretty good actually.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

oohh so you're locked in pretty much?

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Essentially yes. They'll be sending me my remuneration package, once I accept it, they do reference checks and such (standard gov stuff), then my role gets their big chiefs endorsement, then I get the formal offer.

Unless I say no, which I'm unlikely, or their big boss not sign off (also unlikely), locked in.

That's the long term plan :)

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Congratulations!! They'd be remiss not to recognise your competence.

Also:

no one reports to me

Worth its weight in gold.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

It is. When I told my manager, he asked if they're hiring 😁
