I have been presented with a pretty lucrative job offer, but as a contractor. They call it "1 to 3 years"....which is pretty decent in job-shopper terms. It's even local. I could go back to making fat cash like I was making in Seattle.

However... it would seem that I am the new "chosen one" here. I'm supposed to be promoted to management in Aug. (I've been told this). And all the upper management guys say "hi" to me in the hallways. For some reason, they like me. But management is always less money and way more stress than contracting. The benefits are good here....and it is "theoretcially" more secure. If I didn't have two kids, this would be a no-brainer. I really like the idea of more money instantaneously, but to be honest, I'd rather do the project/people management stuff over detail design.

What to do......

Sounds like a no-brainer to me. Benefits which you need for your kids, and you'd rather do this in the long term.

Unless your wife has a secure job with good benefits, in which case the decision becomes harder

 

[I Are Baboon]

I would suggest discussing it with your wife.

 

[BurlyShirley]

Dont have the kids if you cant do the time.

 

[Skookum]

Whatever just as long as you stay away from the states, you've done enough damage....

 

[DRB]

Which job would force you to stay away from RM more?

 

[JRB]

Man I hate you.

Well duh....

She's leaving it up to me to decide.

My wife wants us to move back. I'll see to it that we move in next door to you.....

Don't be a sally. Stand up to her and stay in Canada.

 

[MMike]

Man I hate you.

No you don't. You want me to be your boyfriend. But you couldn't afford me.

 

[JRB]

No you don't. You want me to be your boyfriend. But you couldn't afford me.

WTF??? Stop hitting on my you wolverine humpin' freak. :mumble:

 

[MMike]

My wife is the boss of me.

(Yet we remain in Quebec.....)

Only cause she is knockin' boots with the trashman while the wolverine watches.

Reduced commuting time would be a bonus...

But the management stuff would be good for the ol CV...

Besides, being a born leader makes you a shoe in. That or the fact that all the people saying 'hi' to you are hitting on you.

And, you might get to boss around that hot chick you're always letching..

 

[MMike]

Only cause she is knockin' boots with the trashman while the wolverine watches.

Well who could blame her?

 

[JRB]

Is the garbage man hot, or does she like the wolverine watching???

 

[fluff]

Can them both and become a musician.

 

[MMike]

...or a Vegas drag queen?
