I am back~!


My previous post was about my experience with getting the visa done. I came back to US in January after staying 6 months with family. it was an awesome vacation. I dont know if I can get such a time again.

anyways, I came back to Boulder with job in hand Alhamdulillah. people at my workpace were happy to see me back. brought some expensive gifts for manager and the other bigger guys. sooner I started with the same work and started feeling bored again! I stayed with one friend whose company I enjoy the most. we share a lot of similarities, rather be it in attitude or thinking or religion. but he shows more dedication in things he do than me :|.

I had a job offer from Austin, TX before I left for India. I contacted the manager I use to speak with and she was still interested to hire me but not under her team, as that position was gone. they offered me a decent pay wihtout relocation and a position that wasnt much exciting. I accepted the offer and started my H1 transfer processing with them. meanwhile I told my current manager that I would be leaving in 2 weeks. he didnt like the news, and told me that he wants me in the team at any cost (yea I was a very crucial player, kind of Jack of all, for him). He offered me a package that nobody on earth would decline. i spoke to half a dozen people about both the offers I had and everyone favoured this one. but I declined it :| the only tihng I saw in the offer was money..huge money that makes you think thousand times. I did istekhara and just went with the decision I felt I should take. I moved to Austin around mid march. 

Alhamdulillah, I find everything I wanted at this place. a very good and engaging community, beautiful and small city, masjid at a 2min drive from your home. its my 4th week and real work hasnt started yet. its a big company and everything needs an approval from managerment. 

I hope to have a good time at work as well as some quality in my life.
