It does make you a bad guy

I handed in my letter of resignation today. Why? Ah, yes, inquiring minds want to know. To make a very long story short, my boss is a guy who lacks integrity on many fronts. And he's frustratingly masterful in the art of spin. I don't care to delve much further into that. If you really must know, just call me. (It's too much to type so if you and I are on a chat-only relationship, you'll just have to wonder.)

So today, I'm back out on the job market. I started sending out resumes last night. I got an offer last night from a non-profit in Orange County. Nice salary, but I'm skeptical. Just this morning, about 15 minutes ago, I received two phone calls back to back from other commodity brokerage firms out here in LA. I have an interview at 1:45 pm and another at 3:30 pm. They asked me why I was leaving my first brokerage so soon, and when I told them it's because I disliked the firm's lack of integrity, they said that's exactly what their brokers who had defected from my ex-firm had said. Hmmph. Isn't it nice that my first job out of college was with a firm that is known for being sketchy in its business circles?
