Me, too. I don’t mentall “track” a whole lot of dopers in general, but **Chimera** has always been on my radar since the bitch-about-your-job thread started out. Actually, possibly earlier, if he posted about his job to the mini-rants thread. Draconian leave policies, etc.

Yay! Now I’ll think of you as “that lucky bastard who got to leave his crappy low-paying job for a better one.”

Congratulations!

Jeepers, 55%. I thought I was hot shit when I changed jobs and got 8%.

Good luck with the new gig.
