Sooo less than two weeks after passing my CISSP I just signed an offer letter for... Tesla! I completely forgot I even applied, then the entire process took exactly two weeks after the recruiter initially reached out and this has really taken me by surprise. I'm still processing the whole ordeal.
The catch is that I'm going to be a Security Engineer Intern (an experience I never had before), moving away from a comfortable full-time role. The internship does pay a bit more, but I'm also sacrificing my employee benefits and living with my parents for free.
I live across the country and there are a lot of logistics I need to sort out. I will be working from home, but once restrictions are lifted, I have to scramble and move over there within 30 days. Since I'm only guaranteed to stay til May (though may be extended) I've been frantically applying for summer intern roles, as well as full-time roles, both by my current location and in the Bay Area. It starts in January and I'll be a nervous wreck for the next two months because I absolutely hate the process of resigning (been through it four times yet I'm still unprepared every time).
It got me wondering... did I make the right decision? I suppose I am at the age where it's fine to take risks but this may be a bit too much uncertainty, even for me. I'm ecstatic about this opportunity but also pretty anxious :')
Any advice or reassurance that'll help me get through these next few months?
