After my 2 initial years of working in first company, my training batch-mates started trickling out. After watching them, hearing their stories, idea of resigning got planted in my head, imagining the conversation I would have with my manager, any negotiations to retain me owing to the fact that I am a 'critical' resource. But then for that moment to happen, I had to wait for almost 4 more years.
Now after 2 company resignations, and one voluntary project release, realized that the only fun part is putting the papers, conversation with manager, notice period and the wait for the last day. That is where the excitement ends. As RGV told - 'Man loves the idea of loving a woman more than how much he loves the woman herself and that's why he loves her more when she's away than when she's with him'.
In other words, anticipation is much more exciting than reality.
This part hit me hard on my recent switch. I was always fantasizing about joining a particular company, but then when the day came, it all seemed to be normal. Mind starts thinking about ways to blend into the new company, new project after coming out of comfort zone. Even the excitement of receiving the offer letter lasted for just a day. I do not know how things would have been if everything was normal but due to COVID situation, there is a continued work from home policy, for almost all the companies. Maybe due to this I feel everything is the same again ? Do not know !!
Anyway I thank GOD for this opportunity in these times especially. If not for this, I would have been more depressed.
