Landing a new role
I just signed an offer for a new role and I start on Monday. It still hasn’t fully sunk in, but I’m filled with a mix of excitement and gratitude. After a long search, it feels incredibly rewarding to finally land somewhere that aligns with what I’ve been looking for. This opportunity represents more than a job; it’s a fresh start.
Staying persistent and hopeful
The job search wasn’t easy. There were moments of doubt, silence, rejection, and second guessing. But the one thing I tried to hold onto was persistence. Even on days where nothing seemed to move forward, I kept applying, learning, and showing up. Staying hopeful through the tough parts is easier said than done, but it matters. Momentum builds quietly and then all at once.
What I learned during this process
Looking back, I’ve grown a lot-not just professionally, but personally. I learned how to advocate for myself, how to rest without guilt, and how important mental health is during uncertain times. I also reconnected with what motivates me, and built habits that helped me stay grounded. It wasn’t just a waiting game, it was time I used to become a stronger version of myself.
Excited for this next chapter
Now, I’m genuinely excited to begin this new chapter. I’m looking forward to meeting the team, learning new things, and contributing wherever I can. I don’t take this next step for granted, and I’m bringing everything I’ve learned with me.
If you’re still searching, hang in there. Keep going. The right opportunity is out there, and you’re getting closer than you think.
Song of the Day
It wouldn’t be a proper blog post without music, so here we go again.
Today’s pick is LXST CXNTURY - CYBERSITY, a moody, cinematic track that feels like it belongs in a cyberpunk dreamscape. It blends futuristic synths with emotional depth—dark and melancholic, yet quietly energizing. Perfect for reflecting on the past while charging into a new chapter with purpose and clarity.
Give it a listen if you’re in the mood to reset, recharge, or just drift through your thoughts.
