Big changes
I haven’t talked about this before because people from work know where this blog is and we didn’t want to announce anything too early, but next month I will be emigrating. My mother is Canadian so I’ve had Canadian citizenship for years. It’s always been a part of my long-term plan to move there eventually.
In October I will have been in my current role for three years. It is time to move on and find some new challenges. There is nothing really left to learn about my role, there are no new projects on the horizon that will test me or force me to learn something new and it isn’t good to stagnate in this business. With that in mind, I can either find a new role within the company, move on but stay within the UK or take that final step and go to Canada.
Option three seems like the sensible one. Time is marching on and I’m worried that I’ll never do it if I don’t take this opportunity.
My last day with my current employer is 25th July (I’m informed that there will be a slap-up do for me - hooray for good food!) and then I fly out on 9th August. It’s both exciting and terrifying but I know that it’s the right thing for me at this stage.
