How I Resigned my Job

I barely had told you the plan for this semester and I already made some adjustments to it. I resigned for the first time a job. Being constrained by German law to some official 20 working hours/week policy, I found myself in a short dilemma, for which however, the solution seemed quite obvious. The resource conflict was between my new job with DFKI downtown and being a TA for my kids in GenCS. The data paths to follow would’ve been, I either change one contract and have both jobs or quit the one with less hours. Considering that financially the situations yield the same results, the deadlock was solved by resigning from the TA position. The idea was fairly obvious and I didn’t hesitate. I must admit I enjoyed it very much working with the kids, but nevertheless, given the whole parameter set, this is the choice that maximizes the future outcome. Besides, I would have risked in doing two jobs poorly, so it’s better to have a safety net under your feet. Just in case.

And that’s how I resigned my first job.

P.S. My GenCS position needs to be filled… If you think you nailed this course and would like some bucks in your account, you can try getting it. Cheers!
