Congrats...Phoenix sucks, but I guess it's an upgrade from Kansas...
Well it just became official today homies!!! I've been bustin my ass at my job and it's really paying off. I got my first real promotion about a year ago - I had just turned 25 and became a manager of 6 peeps, 3 of which were 20 years older than me, lol.But just last week I was offered another promotion which I called my boss and accepted today!!! This moves me out to Phoenix which is dope cuz i've been dyin to get out of the shithole town I live in. But peep game on this my niggas - I'm gonna be clocking $80K annually, I got a $30k signing bonus in the way of an equity downpayment on a new home and a 5-year stock option buyout. I'm so excited I can't even put it into words.So this is a message to all of yall grinding it out in school or whatever - keep your eyes on the prize and you can do it. Know that all the work you're putting in today will pay off in the long run, no matter how much it may seem like bullshit right now.I'll be there after 1st quarter 07 (April 1), so to all the homies in AZ & Cali I'm gonna expect some hospitality so HOLLA!!!!!!!

Why do you think PHX sucks though? I'm working in Scottsdale actually, but I'm gonna live in PHX because you can't buy a single family res in Scottsdale for under $500,000. And fuck buying a condo / townhouse.I've been out there 3 times and am going out there again on Tuesday. I'm trying to lock down a place to live on this trip. The market has really slowed down over the last 9 months and is a great time to buy. I'm pumped.

I'm pumped.I went there a few times and it seemed kinda small, like everyone knows everyone and I don't think there are that many things to do...Plus the weather is DRYYY. I dunno, maybe I'm just spoiled, being born and raised in LA and all. It's just much different, one thing that's cool though, their buildings and structures look futuristic...PeACe
What did you study, what qualifications did u get to get to this point?Or was it just all just hustle and grind to work ure way to the top?
