spoke with my old man about this and he said "Life's too short to be stuck in a job you don't enjoy, good on ya boy, best of luck", and thats all I need

Sensible sounding man, your father.

When I decided to change jobs recently (to a larger employer, which is due to be be fully listed on the LSE shortly), my father thought I was making a dangerous move to an unknown organisation away from a well known one.

This is why one must choose one's counsel carefully - I'd never listen to my father when it comes to career advice.

Good luck to the career hoppers here.

Friday is the first day of the rest of my life as I leave the bike trade to stay home and care for baby mtbfixlette.

yep fairplay MrNutt money is seductive ;-)and good luck...
I like cooking but if I became a chef I think i'd hate it pretty quick so I'll stick with being an IT gnu for another couple of years
(the kids keep telling me I should become one but at best I'm just a cook)

I recall drinking from 12pm last Friday courtesy of the company, in fact every Friday is beer o'clock - a great team spirit.

Yuck.

Good on you, though. Someone has to do it I suppose.

Well done, wish I had the balls to career change, maybe in a few years when the mortgage isn't so scary

Can't say I agree with the comments about pm'ing - I would say if you find you time filling out spreadsheets then you should find someone to do it for you (pma/pmo) and focus your time on the important stuff. Surrounding yourself with good people, keeping them happy and keeping them focused is what it's all about.

Congrat's to you Mr Nutt. Brave to move from a better paid 9 - 5 job to a harder working , less sociable hours one. I wish you the best of luck and hope it works out for the best.
Now, Those pubs look like they could all serve guest beer. Put in a good word for us, we can do a deal if you could twist their arms to take 6 casks ( 2 for each pub ) on the same day.
Cheers Rob

@ dorset_knob. If it had been some marketing thing, yes, yuck. But it's with the development & support teams, and they're much more down to earth. I'm not a big drinker, but this was a special occasion (someone leaving) and they're a good crowd.
None of the marketing nonsense for me!
