It was so rough, the majority of people in my life advised me not to take the job at that time. Of course I did it anyway knowing what was coming on the back end. That year was awful in nearly every way, but is now a very distant memory. The pay, benefits, quality of life, etc FAR outweigh the difficulties of that first year. Hardly think about it anymore.
