I know it's still early, but 2 days into the new job and I'm feeling like I choose correctly.
Sometimes I don't know whether to listen to the feeling in the pit of my stomach not to do something. I like reassurances. I like knowing the right choice. I like being prepared. Otherwise I'm imagining all the possible ways a situation could go wrong. In my mind, it's my own personal hell. And I am alone every day all day with my thoughts, battling to feel...anything, something good.
I'm finally going to get to go on vacation in October. Fingers crossed that monkey-pox doesn't throw a monkey-wrench in the plans.
I start my dream job at the end of the month.
I never thought in a million years I would hold "engineer" in my job title. But here I am, an engineer. I'm going to work so hard to prove it to myself, and them, that I am worthy of the title. I'm feeling a bit of imposter syndrome. Not sure if it's because I am minority, a women, or the fact I never took calculus. But I've been able to navigate a lot of the courses for my degrees and the math has never been my struggle. They have all of my work experiences and university transcripts. So if they think I am an engineer, I am going to be the very best engineer I can be.
I have not even announced the job to anyone outside of my immediate family.
On top of this, I feel so bad about leaving my current job. Everyone has been so nice to me. The benefits, the people, the pay - it's all great. But there isn't really a position to grow to, I would always have the same pay and title. I'm definitely going to leave, I just feel bad about doing a month after starting.
