Well it is official. After 8 years with Malcolm Pirnie, Suzy is jumping ship to her favorite client, Tampa Bay Water www.tampabaywater.org  She will be a project manager for projects that are in the conceptual and design phase.  Suzy is excited but sad to be leaving her close friends at Malcolm Pirnie, and a little stressed with the whole transition.  Steven has been amazingly supportive. (I love you!!)

 

The facts:

1) No, she is not going to municipal from consulting because it will be "easier" and "beneficial for her family"

2) Yes she took a pay cut, but they did offer more than she asked for, and more than she made last year.

3) No, she was not unhappy at Malcolm Pirnie

4) Yes, it will be a little longer commute, but now she will be passing horse farms, nurserys and fruit stands instead of the ghetto gas stations

5) Yes, her first job will be the Lithia 50 mgd ozone plant

6) Yes, she aspires to be the Sr. Manager of Projects and Planning in +/- 5 years, but knows this will be a challenge.

7) Yes, she will be working full time

8) Are the benefits better??? Don't know????

9) Yes she will be working in Clearwater on the 3rd floor (sunny side) in her own office with a door and furniture she gets to pick from a catalog, and the bldg has a gym! Woohoo!!

10) Her last day at MP will be Feb 4th and first day at TBW will be Feb 9th, the 2 days off will be for R&R and shopping

11) Yes she hopes MP wins all of her jobs, but will not cut them any slack when evaluating them against other consultants.

12) Yes this is the hardest decision she has had to make UGH!!

 

Wish her luck!

 

Oh, and Suzy has a facebook page now after being begged by family and friends
