    Offered Perm position by Ex-Boss. Wants me to move into Sales Strategy!

    Good salary & package - just shy of 90K.

    Would be between here and France for a year for a massive IT Company.

    But. It's not IT.

    More Programme Management, sales strategy, CRM Deployment, sales operations!!! Much more business focussed.

    Mmmmm.
    IT = Contract = Comfort Zone = Unsecure = Constant Training
    Sales = Perm = Out of Comfort Zone = Secure = IT Skills out of date

    Got offered the role a month ago, and turned it down flat!! A month later I was thinking, Mmmm maybe made a mistake.

    He's just dropped me a line to say the role is now advertised online, and last chances....

            That sounds like an opportunity looking you straight in the face - who knows where it might take you??

            I'd say go for it, you don't like your current gig anyway and you're not a one for worrying about waiting till end of contract.

                  90k? Perm?

                  You're having us on right?

                  OK, maybe I'd accept that kind of package... if it was part-time, and within a 10 minute drive from home.
