Unemployed for one month and five days

Hello Everybody,

On Friday afternoon I interviewed for an Information Security and Compliance Analyst position near Boston. The interview was fantastic and they extended me an offer while in the office. The salary is well within the market rate for the area and the benefits are great and I start working on Wednesday. The only downside is the distance and working in a state I don't live in.

I am beyond excited that I was unemployed for such a short time. I am still pinching myself to make sure this is real.

For those who are unemployed, there are jobs out there, just keep plugging away, keep studying, and don't give up! My wife was a hugely supportive, which made things a lot easier.

Great to hear that you got back on your feet. Definitely everyone needs a good support system in situation like these. What is the commute time like or do you have to move to a different state?

It is about forty five minutes without traffic. I worked near there for over five years and from experience I know the commute can take well over an hour.

Congratulations! Always good to hear about successes. Don't stress over the commute. It beats sitting home waiting for offers.

1h commute is still long, but it can be considered normal in some metro area. If you can do all or part in public transit, you could invest this time in reading/studying.

But, congrats !

No public transportation available, unfortunately. Security podcasts will be companion.
