    Offer of a lifetime??

    Just been offered a permie job at the place where I am working

    "Good" package
    MBA paid for
    MS certification paid for

    Management role

    Massive blue chip

    Surprisingly I am tempted. This could be my ticket into directorship and business level exec, which is where I want to be, as well as Contracting being sold to a girl called Helena Handbasket.

    What does the board think
    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

    Clearly its a step in the direction in which you want to go in.

    As long as the money and prospects meet expectations then whats stopping you?

            I don't know yet which is what is stopping me.

            I really do have some thinking to do.

            This was not in the 5 year plan.

              What is your 5 year plan?
              (If you don't mind me asking).

                  Do you seriously want to be director of a large blue chip? Sounds good I know, but do you really know what it involves? This is not the same as being director of a start up, or even a medium size 250+ employee company. You are entering another world. Do some serious research. You might earn £100K a year contracting for doing practically f all. You might earn £150K a year as director of a blue chip (+ bonus). But the legal responsibilities and pressures are another world.

                    I can always go back to Contracting, but I do want to push myself, yes.

                    I want to see where it takes me.

                    HOWEVER.....I hear what you are saying. If this was a give up your life kind of gig I would never take it, but it is not that kind of company. So I am thinking it over.......
