I have been working at my current position for 7 years and 8 months, to the day, and tomorrow I start a new position. It is the same organization but a different department. It is a promotion and completely different from what I’ve been doing 20 something years. I will be in a supervisor role and no longer a technician. I will be learning a new application as well as becoming the technical manager of the application and I will have 23 under me that know their stuff. Remember, you don’t have to be the smartest one but you need to surround yourself with smart people. Luckily, I know most everyone and so far I have received nothing but great reaction, even from others that interviewed and did not get the promotion.
