Anything is achievable

Today, I turned down the job offer and couldn't be more happier. Numerous opportunities await, and the responsibility lies solely with oneself if the past two years weren't utilized for preparation. It's a tremendous relief to know that the demanding job is finally concluding. I remained in the business, eagerly awaiting this moment. If you're only in it for the money, I pity you. Have faith in yourself and don't allow anyone to undermine you. Having worked at GS for an extended period, I've encountered numerous exceptional individuals with incredible skills. Don't fall into the misconception that alternative employment options don't exist. If you stay true to yourself, anything is achievable!

I'm reposting this because more people should see it instead of it sitting buried in replies. The OP is @arq+1qHZSwvG.

Don't forget that there are tons of _legacy_ software that needs work. New technologies may be cool, but old tech still runs a good part of the world.

Why is one of the highest performing groups in broadcom software the mainframe group? I though mainframes were dead.

One more reason to find an alternative job is the Broadcom Software private equity model will negatively impact those VMW employees who stay. Skills become obsolete.

So, it isn't just about the money, it's about future job prospects.

The job market does not su-k right now. Dont let the fake news eat your brains away. Employers su-k, they want to do more with less. But there are hundreds of opportunities today. If you take longer than 2 weeks to land interviews, then you need to network more, update your resume, and reach out to companies/Hiring managers.

Don't stay in a company for either the money or because you think the job market su-ks.

Good luck with the opportunities. Most that I know laid off in November are struggling every day to find a new job. Maybe it'll work out for you.

It is perfectly fine to be in it for the money. One does not need to find their self worth in their job. Your job pays your bills so that you can find your worth wherever it may be.

Whoever wants, finds ways; whoever doesn't want, finds excuses

Counter point. The job market su-ks right now and you can expect to be out of work for anywhere between 6 months and 2 years. It happens and not really in your control
