Now that and so that

Dear teachers.

I don't distinguish the meaning of those clearly.
For example:
- She's enjoying the job now that she's got more responsibility
- She's enjoying the job so that she's got more responsibility
Please give me an idea to understand them deeply. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much. I can understand the meaning of "so that", but I still confuse a little with the meaning of "now that".
For example: I don't want to go out now that the weather is very cold.
Is it mean that the weather was normal before, and it has just been cold?

Yes. The usage implies that there's been a change: Now vs Then.
