A few weeks ago I got a job offer that would be about 40% more than what I make now. Its a job I did in the past, but didn't really like all that much. What I do now, pays me less, but I'm not living too bad. I do really like it though. So, this morning, I met with my boss, and my boss's boss about my future with my current company. They're impressed with my work ,and view me as a strong leader among my peers. So, when I made my case for being trained for management, they said that it would take some time, but when our company expands (late 2007), I'd be one of the ones in line for a managerial post. Our supervisors pay is a shade (nothing significant) that what I'm turning down now. Another factor that's keeping me here is politics. Pittsburgh has a great political scene, and I'm glad to be part of it. My family is here too, so that's a nice benefit. When I sat down and calcuated out the pros and cons, really, the only pro to moving would be more money, and to me, money doesn't buy happiness. One in the hand is worth two in the bush, I suppose. :)
