Well, it looks like I will accept this position today as a National Corporate Account Manager. I really wanted to be done with traveling but the package offer is just pretty much impossible for me to turn down. He bumped my start date up to Feb 3rd plus my current company keeps pushing the close date back and now it's supposed to be the week of Jan 20th. I am starting to love free money.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers guys!!!!!
I really thought this was the stage of my life where I just skated along and hid within a company for my final years as an employee but it seems the past 5 years have been really unstable for me. I mean, financially, it's been great but I sure have had to change jobs a lot.
So...the company that was my tightest competitor in the medical market has had a headhunter on my every since I took the new job. I told them numerous times that I had a great job that I am happy with and I had no interest in them.
They finally wore me down and I agreed to meet with them, which occurred 3 weeks ago. They offered me an increase of $80,000/yr if I would take over all of my old accounts. These are accounts. I have a strong and established history with and it would take very little work to get them to move to this company once they know I work there. There is zero travel and my office would be 3 miles from my house.
This company has been around for 30+ years and has a strong presence and at this stage of my life, there is no way I can turn down that kind of increase. I accepted the position yesterday and start on Monday. I was let go from my current(former, now?) company about 9 seconds into telling them what I was about to do.
So much for stability......
