3 Months!

Assalamualaikum,

Now i really feel like writing as this has been a rough couple of days.
Ever since aku anta my 3 month notice..
Yes...Kepada sesiapa yang kerja kena bagi 3 month notice maybe paham kot.

Let's go back over 2 years ago.
I saw this 3 month notice period and i thought to myself, this was a red flag.
But I accepted the job regardless because i really, really wanted to jumpstart my career as a .Net programmer.

Now go back now again, I truly regretted that.
For that particular reason.The 3 month notice.

It was the reason that has been holding me back to look for another job for a year now.
And not unless you are kebaboom type of job candidate, your resume will be looked over just because of that reason.
3 months is a very long time.

It's like a 3 month jail sentence.
In 3 months, you wont' be treated the same way every again by your manager.
In 3 months you can't apply for break like you used to.
In 3 months, you won't get attached to any new project.
In 3 months you feel like you eat gaji buta.
Basically in 3 months the only reason you being retained there is to fill an empty
space until the new guy comes along.
And if I am lucky, i get to trained the new guy and passed on the legacy.
If not, what the reason I'm being there?

I know this is the same issue if you are in notice period.
But one cannot compare of being in a 3 month period.
Even worse, I have to reject a job offer because i couldnt get a deal out of this 3 month notice.

But did i regret posting my 3 month notice?
Not a second of regret.
Not sombong tone one but I feel it is time for me to move on to another things.
That job was one of the best thing that happened in my life.
But the 3 month notice period is the only thing that to sum to a better word - a huge downer.


And did I add with no potential job waiting..
USed to have but had to let go because of this particular thing.
So allow my rant in this post.
Although this 3 months notice has been keeping me to look for another job, It can also be
the blessing that gonna push me to become a better job candidate.
On the next blog posting I will explain how.
Sigh! Thant's Okay. Just live my remaining days here as usual.

Counting the days, 2 months and 17 days to go. Maybe counting the days to my unemployment :(
