New job starts tomorrow.
I'm still not convinced this is the right move for me. The new place has some very high expectations. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to live up to them. Nor am I certain that the social environment is going to be one I find particularly welcoming.
On the other hand, I am pretty well convinced that staying where I was would have been a wrong move (so to speak). It's become pretty clear over the last few months that the organization is going to remain ineffectual, if not outright crippled, until something drastic happens at a very high pay grade. I would not have been in a position to effect meaningful change, and I do not do well when I'm not allowed to unfuck problems that are within my capacity and willingness.
