I love what I do for a living and the company for which I work. My management all the way up the reporting structure loves me. But I'm being headhunted for a 20% raise doing the same work for another company with a national presence and potentially more growth opportunity. Really torn right now.
But, no need worrying about it until I have offer in hand, I suppose. |

Would it involve a relocation?

Nah, here in Indy. Downtown vs. closer to home, but I worked downtown for fifteen years before this job. The commute isn't bad at all. It's really going to boil down to if their culture and environment are a good fit. In an ideal world my current employer counters an offer and I stay where I am for more money.

Here in Michigan. Been with the misus for the better part of a decade. I'm the purchasing manager for a HVAC Distrubutorship. I can't complain at all.
Oh yeah, at the ripe old age of 43, (Both Mom & Dad) we had our first child. Caleb was born on June 14, 2015. Say hello!

Anyone that's friends with me on Facebook or in real life know that nothing's really changed too recently. Been a Murse in the ER in Fort Lauderdale for about 9 months now. Adjusting really well. May/June will make 1 year and I might do some travel nursing in the Boston area to start.

Anyways wife and I have a 9 month old daughter. She's pretty awesome. Were looking into new homes, my lil 200k home I bought 8 years ago is worth 365k now so it's time to buy bigger and better, excited to get into a bigger home with more land! Got into the real estate game full time, I love it, finally doing what I love, a commercial property developer.

Besides, it's not a "once in a lifetime" trip anyway. We've been to Croatia before, and plan to continue going there as often as we can.

Haven't been here in a while. Right now I have a daughter who is 2 years and 9 months and another who just turned 1 last month. They truly are my pride and joy. I always wanted to wait for the perfect time to have them, but time just kept going by, as I don't think there really is a perfect time to have them. No regrets whatsoever. They bring so much happiness to me.
My wife has 1 1/2 years left of ARNP school and will probably stop there. I'm in the process of changing jobs. I have been with my current company just shy of 10 years, so it kinda sucks to leave, but I couldn't turn down the new job with the school board, as I'll have tons of benefits. I'll be home everyday at 4:30pm, M-F, so I can spend more time with the family. Salary will be about the same, but I'll have places to move up now, opposed to nothing where I'm at now. It's going to be a huge change, but I won't have to kill myself at work anymore. Once the wife is done I might go back to school since we'll be better off, but for now I'm going to give this a shot. One of the school board guys I talk to told me I was their only candidate, and if I didn't accept it that they were going to just close the position. Besides that, not much else has changed.

Yea, got rid of that of that POS a while back, but I can't hate on that place because it allowed us to save money and in the end, find our current house. Tried to do renting, but I was working so much that I didn't have time to deal with it. Paid $18k and got $30k for it, so I can't complain. After the taxes and the money I put into to fix it up a little on the inside, I still walked away with money. I didn't make a killing, but I didn't lose money and lived there for free for about 3 1/2 years in the end.
