Time flies! It’s been 9 months since I wrote Part I of “I am in Love with Intuit“. This week I celebrate my first year anniversary at Intuit.

I am in LOVE!! With Intuit.
Transitioning jobs! It’s always a calculated risk. Irrespective of whomever is going to be your new employer and what ever your new role is going to be.
