Temptations
The fun thing about the job market is the temptation to do something rash. I’ve had some interesting offers that would boggle the mind. The best one to date was to take a 12 month contract where I would be spending approximately 10 of those months on the 7th continent at the NOAH weather station. Hmmmm, sounds a bit too much like my last marriage, but that’s a different story.Anyway, this afternoon I got one of those calls from a former employment candidate that have suddenly regained interest. Actually, it just took forever for them to get through the process so now it might just happen. Wow, moving to a different state, new friends, etc, etc is a bit scary but when I consider what I’ve got around this city, it sure couldn’t get any worse, in fact there are a number of benefits that would be helpful in the long run.
And if that were not interesting enough, another lead wants me to come visit them to interview. They are further North (brrrrrr) but are offering nearly twice the salary and a bonus structure that is 25% of the salary. That’s nearly enough money to be scary.
So, what to do, what to do …. I’m thinking it might be time to break out the old dart board; it would be easier!
