And that's just how it worked out.
And so that was another very stark lesson in this reframe of they don't care about me.
And it was also that, you know, I think this might be a different reframe, but, you know, you may end up better off.
After that, I ended up getting a job offer pretty easily by just calling up one of my buddies that had moved over to yet another company like this and said, Hey, do you want to hire me?
And he said, Yeah, sure, I'd love to.
And I just I had a new job lined up very quickly.
So I bounced right back and it was no problem.
But I've been through this a number of times in my career, you know, I've had a lot of success.
And I think I can certainly say that my career has been a success, but I've had a lot of setbacks like that where I've had to switch companies sometimes involuntarily.
And I've certainly come away with it with this reframe
Of saying my job is to get a better job very solidly in my mind that whatever I'm doing, I'm trying to develop my talent stack.
And if you've ever switched jobs, you know, you got to update your resume.
And then the advice is usually you want to show results like, you know, what did you actually accomplish in terms of results?
Did you make something 20% better or worse?
50% faster or what financial contribution did you make?
And if you can put numbers on your resume and show those exact results, you're much better off when another employer is looking at you because that's the type of stuff that they love to see.
But if you're just getting a general description of tasks, it's nowhere near as good.
So those are the types of things I would focus on in the context of this.
But I'll stop now.
I've been talking a while.
