Job Change for Nick D

Well folks the life and times of Nick D at AIG will come to an end in two weeks. I have been doing some job searching for the last few months and decided to make a change. I will still be working in the insurance industry, but will be working with a company called QBE. They are an Australian based firm who are expanding into the America's and Asia. It should be a good opportunity because the company is growing and looking to continually expand and add good people. Of course there is a substantial pay raise in it for me which was one of my main goals after passing my CPA. I will be getting a 40% increase in base pay as well as still earning OT which is awesome. My position is also eligible for a 15% target bonus come year end. So needless to say I am very excited and it should allow me to live much more comfortable in this very expensive city. This company has no idea what they are getting themselves into...suckers. Have a good weekend everybody.

Does this mean they are sending you to Australia for training? Cause that would be awesome.

Put another shrimp on the barby! Congrats my man. It is always exciting changing jobs. You're right, though. They have no idea what they've got themselves into.

congrats on squeezin' the man with your new acronym. i guess drinks will be on you when we come out in july ;).

Leighton said...

Congrats buddy! I don't know how you convinced them to pay you 40% more...but hell yeah.

Jae, you are coming up to the north east in July?? Let me know what the dates are and I can see if I can hop on the bus to NYC. Also, if you have any desire to visit Boston, you are more than welcome to the second bedroom. It would be nice to see you up here though. I have had really good times with Bryan and Eric when they were here.

Thanks Gents.

I dont know about that Logan but I am definitely going to see if there are any opportunities for me to go over there on the firm. That would be completely awesome to "work" in Aussie for awhile.

Well Leighton they made me an offer, AIG matched, then they came back over the top that is how it got bumped up so much. I was not even trying to play them which is the best part about it.

Congrats Nick! Are you actually going to start saving money now? Or are you going to continue to blow it on booze and hoes?

Nick D said...

Hahaha the plan is to do all three kind sir, but hoes is a negative term and I prefer you not use it.
