Considering that a lot of stuff in this subreddit is of negative experiences, I was thinking that this may be a good place to post this.
Last Friday, I accepted a new position with a different company. I'm getting a big pay increase with better benefits and perks.
I sent in my 2 weeks notice today and the reaction I got was extremely positive. My co-workers and bosses were genuinely happy for me. The past few years with this company have been great with an amazing team and an even better culture which focused on helping everyone reach their internal and personal goals. I'm sad to be leaving this environment, but excited for the future.
Good work cultures are important. At the very least, if you're not at the pay you want, find a place with a great culture to help nurture your skills and promote your growth. Thank for listening.
