View submission: Tuesday Check In: How's Everybody's Mental Health?
Accepted an offer letter for a new job today after almost 2 years of searching. I’m very lucky that I managed to find work when the funding for public health research is collapsing right now. The 33% salary increase from my last job is a very welcome change to my long stint in unemployment.
It’s the first job I’ve gotten since I finally got my legal name and gender marker changed so I won’t be worrying about a coworker seeing my dead name on my work ID.
I live in a super progressive area so I’m comfortable with people knowing, and I usually just tell people myself. That information being up to my own discretion at work is still a huge relief.

That is amazing! I know I'm a stranger on the internet, but I'm happy for you. Hearing your good news made me feel a little better myself too.

Congratulations, on all parts!! I'm in a similar position in terms of being able to choose who and when to come out, and it's so freeing to have that option of privacy. I hope the new job goes great!
