As long as you learned more about your field and yourself, the job was at least somewhat worthwhile. Hopefully, you'll truly be interested in your new position. Good luck at your new position!

I liked my boss but felt bad for deserting the new team I just joined. I think a lot of the time we consider other people before our best interest which makes things harder. I was surprised mostly that she was surprised I was quitting. Just the week before she was telling me I was doing a crappy job, which I was, and how I can improve it. That stems from putting the right person in a wrong position. Anyways, it is very cool to know other people feel the same. Best of luck with DBJ. nk Rishi,

At my prior company, when I told my manager (who I didn't really even like) that I was leaving the company, I also was really nervous. I don't know what it was about the situation that made me nervous. After all, I was in control and I certainly didn't need his approval to quit. Only reason I can think of is being nervous about receiving disapproval/semi-anger about abandoning the team. Strange phenomenon....

I am going to be working at a well known startup for college students. I will ask my boss if I can blog about working there and the things we are doing within reason. I quit by submitting a pre-generated resignation letter from soyouwanna.com and I told my manager in our 1-1 that I am putting in my 2 weeks. I have not been that nervous as when I told her in a long time. Thanks for the support. I am going to be working at a well known startup for college students.
