Definitely a no then. I'm not relocating, all of our family is within 20 miles. Although I'd move to Hawaii in a second if my wife would agree.

The position I'm being considered for really just bumps me into a consistent project lead role. I'm an IT consultant now, so whatever the client wants is what I do at that time. Gets a little old sometimes.

Well my situation is a little different. Other than my parents my family is spread out from Kalamazoo to El Paso.

I've had failures and success over my life, but the worst of it happened about 5 years ago when things fell apart for me.

It took some time but I got back into an industry I know and love that is as we call it "the family business". However, I am grossly underpaid. Seriously, for my position I am not even making 50% of national average. I accepted that because I didn't have the experience and no where else to go but now the market has changed and I have the experience. Unfortunately, my bosses don't see it that way.

It came as a surprise but I had gotten a phone call from a talent relations manager for a large mill looking for new employees in their continued growth.

And let's just say this guy is hitting the paint hard. Its a big decision for me. I don't have kids nor a wife (not really looking either ). Should be a no brainer to chase the money. I could use it and be able to venture out on my own in a few years.


Who knows, I will have to make a decision next week.
