So I got a job 🎉...and I am as shocked as you are! 🤯

GrahamTheDev on March 04, 2022

Yes, you heard me right I got a job as a content creator! 15 years self-employed and someone finally made me an offer I couldn't refuse! **I...

Congrats on the job! So awesome that it even helps you fulfil your goals, even though it makes me a bit sad that you're planing on posting less here. However:

Hey

I perhaps wasn't clear, I will be posting more here.

It is just that my "angry rants", "website roasts" and anything that is even remotely controversial I will only be posting a summary and a link as I need to protect myself and daily.dev from bans, reputation hits for a misunderstood piece etc.

So all that will happen is more stuff will move to my own blog (that I will finally have time to finish) and summaries here. Maybe I will be posting under a different name too as a company representing another company might be strange? I will find that out a week on Monday!

All of the series I have been working on etc. will still live here!

Thanks a lot for the well wishes bud! Fingers crossed it all goes to plan! 🤞

Well, let the abuse in the comments begin!

I am expecting "what were they thinking", "could they not have found someone better" and similar comments...let rip, I am in a good mood, try and change that! 🤣

Congratulations 🎊
I trust it's going to be a great journey.

Alsp, I must say over your last three articles I have discovered mindblowing things about you

First, you are not a girl which is weird because I always though otherwise 😅.

And your name isn't inHu rather inHu is inclusitivity Hub. Like seriously 😅

Haha brilliant, the fact you thought I was a girl…it’s all the hearts I use isn’t it…isn’t it! 🤣🤣)

Well now you know I have a face and everything. 🤣 Next you will discover I’m not actually angry…then you will really have your mind blown! 🤣

Thanks for that, will keep it in mind!

The sneaky thing with envato elements is they put templates as part of the annual fee that are synced to the music so you kind of have to buy the music track when you find a video template you like and they don’t include those in the music tracks that come as part of the annual fee! 😤

Congratulations on the job 💖🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏽👏🏽

Despite what you say about the video, I FEEL SO PUMPED UP AND HYPED 💪🏾💪🏾 it's as if I'll be working there too. They really are blessed to have you there. I hope you will carry the same energy and zeal there as you have been doing consistently here. Congrats, once again.

Sorry I am being silly, I don’t take compliments well I prefer being insulted / a “ribbing”. Out of fun of course!

An interesting direction and I'm sure you'll be making some very interesting content! It'll be interesting reading your work and not bracing myself for "the torrent"!! Perhaps it will be like your favourite stand up comedian taking the early evening slot on TV.

Advertising is one revenue stream, they have ads every once in a while in the feed. I am sure once I start there I will learn of other revenue streams (or future revenue streams) I am not aware of though!

15-years self-employed and you are happy that someones gives you a job? I don't get it, maybe I'm missing something

I perhaps explained badly. I had no intention of getting a job but I got recommended for a position and then they gave me a very reasonable offer for the role and adjusted the job to fit me (for example I wanted part time to continue working with certain clients).

The point was that I had worked for myself and had many job offers that did not appeal, this one seems like a good fit and is a direction I never thought I would be taking, but I liked the people and the vision so I thought I would give it a go!
