i have to make a decision? make that two!
what is this madness with companies offering me two yummie jobs within a less than two weeks period? is this a secret conspiration to drive me insane? if it is, you people surely know how to do your job! argh!
this weeks potential new job would be in germany (hm... not as exotic as russia but i could live with that), probably in the cologne area (never lived there but have heard good things about it), working for a company i have known for several years (plus i know they have the cash to afford me) and for a quite capable and cool boss that has known me and my work for several years now (and by the way is one of the few people on this planet who have earned my trust - at least on business grounds).
the downside? huh... not sure. it´s a more or less standard sales guy job. new product, selling into a pretty defined market with a yet to be developed strategy. nothing i haven´t done before. looks like a huge amount of cash for not that much work. looks also like it would be boring after 6 months. probably earlier. maybe i should call a former colleague and do him (and me) a favour?
on the other hand: if they would allow me to open a small office in lets say hamburg (?) or berlin (?) and work from there? that would surely make me think about it.
but would i be willing to give up the current job? i like my current job. not every day, but that would be the same with every other job (i guess). i like the company too. i like the fact that i can more or less tumble from home to work and back while smoking one single cigarette. i like that cute little office i am sitting in (that is when i am sitting in it and not hovering from meeting to meeting with bosses brand new car). lots of nice things here...
this is just great. i definitely need more advice from strangers. help! heeeelp! help now motherf*ckers! *stompstompstomp*
oh and on another, personal note:
yes i have read your text message, but i was busy sorting out these "job decision thingies" and needed to immediately drop asleep afterwards. my answer (if i would have called you) would have been: if you want it, just buy it and i will pay for it. no big deal. ok? :) [sorry everybody else - was too lazy to type this as a text message.]
