madbakerI start work Monday!
I'll be working in the city Treasurer's office. Doing basically what I'm trained to do, which is bond investing. My boss is a former cow-orker, who I get along with well. It's local: I'll be commuting on Muni. Hopefully this job is more stable, although it could always get cut in the next budget downturn...
Obviously as a city employee, the pay is less than I was making before. I have to wear a suit and tie five days a week. Because I was hired after 1/10, I have to pay 2% of my salary into a healthcare fund - and I have to work there for 20 years to get free healthcare after retirement rather than 5 years. The responsibility and scope of what I'll be doing is significantly less than what I was doing before as well. Also, no vacation time for a year.
I'll be commuting on Muni. Also, I'll be a city employee with union-negotiated benefits. For those who knew me twenty years ago... it's a little ironic.
All in all, though, I'm looking forward to getting back to work in general and at this job specifically.
