Starting last Monday, my work email now ends with @dell.com, instead of @navarik.com. I was with Navarik for 12 years, seeing and helping it grow from a little start-up to a mature, stable company. I was Navarik's employee #1 and the decision to leave was not an easy one. But it just felt like the right time to go try something different somewhere else. I am certain I will miss Navarik and my friends there for a long time.
It certainly is different where I am now. Navarik has less than 50 employees, whereas Dell has over 100,000 employees in I don't even know how many countries. The team I joined is a product team that develops software for modernizing legacy systems and my role involves product management, business analysis, etc. My role is similar to what I was doing at Navarik but the products and users are quite different from what I am used to. I was looking for change and I definitely got it.
It is Friday now and I survived my first week at Dell. It was overwhelming and scary but it was also good. Change is good, right? Right???

I believe change is always good.....not because what we were doing before wasn't, just because it's time to experience something new and different. Good luck with the new job. I hope we will get an update on how it is going in the coming months.
Thanks, Julie! I will definitely give an update a few months from now.
