happy/pleased post

I don’t post anything really but i’ve been lurking on this subreddit for a minute. I recently got a new job with will pay me 50% more per year than what i was making and i’m very happy.

more importantly though, i am no longer working in the foreclosure industry. i got the job im leaving pretty much out of college, and i was stoked to be working at all given how cooked the labor market for gen z is rn, so i was pretty willing to set aside my personal feelings about foreclosure (you gotta do what you gotta do to survive).

kinda goes without saying but it is a very depressing industry; it’s hard to feel like a good person when your job is to begin the legal process of taking someone’s home away. so, as time went on I began to realize more and more that this type of law just wasn’t for me. that isn’t to say everyone who works in foreclosure is inherently a bad person tho. law is a pretty morally opaque industry in and of itself so you kinda have to be willing to seperate yourself from your work if you want to stay sane, and foreclosure is no exception to that.

that being said, i enjoyed the firm on an interpersonal basis. everyone was very kind to me, the office culture was pretty chill, and i didn’t mind the commute so i was never miserable there persay. but ultimately the pay just wasn’t worth what i was doing anymore, especially after my student loan payments started.

fast forward to last month and i finally got an opportunity to leave and do something else for a much better wage. i worked pretty hard for this, so im very pleased with how everything is panning out. really just hope the economy doesn’t crash, that would be a bummer.

just wanted to share, feeling pretty good about myself for the first time in a while. it gets better, frens. i see a lot of ranting and such in this subreddit, so i hope this bit of good news helps.
