So it looks like I'm gonna be getting a job. I was planning on doing contract web dev, and I still might do some on the side, but this job is gonna be 6 days a week. Ugh. After not working for 2 years (and having a relatively lax schedule for a year or two prior to that) this is gonna be TOUGH. And for anyone that's ever complained about how much they're making, well, I'll be making 60,000 baht/month. Which is roughly $2000 CAD. Which is $24,000/year. Which is 10 times the minimum wage here. So I suppose it's all relative.
What is it you might ask? Well, it's working for a media company who does both print and web media. I'll be second in command under the owner and managing 13 Thai staff - graphic designers and web developers, as well as interfacing with clients, putting together requirements and quotations, etc. Though I think I'll be getting my own personal assistant, which sounds appealing. I've never had an assistant before.
The thought of working again definitely does not appeal to me (as I sit here typing in my underwear). At any rate, I need to start making some dough, so I'll give it a whirl and see what happens. Who knows, I might quit after a day.
