My 3 month mini-retirement is now at an end, with Monday seeing the start of (hopefully) a long term permy role.
I was all set to sign on with a law firm, accepting that I would have to return to a 5-days-a-week commute into Wellington, when a company I had previously interviewed for – and missed out on – came back to see if I was still interested. Heck yeah!
They are closer to home (20 min drive and within the limited range of my elderly EV) and offer 2 days a week from home.
Work wise I will have a lot of learning to do for the next few months – not least getting to grips with DevOps theory – but the team I’ve met are all cool and it should be interesting to see what I can offer.
I must admit though I am fully retirement-ready, apart from financially. The lack of alarm clocks, the leisurely dog walks, guilt-free daytime naps, all great! Just another 12 years to go…
