So I'm at Best Buy today, talking with one of the managers about taking care of a commercial job that I'm doing on the side for them. Basically, they sold $10k in televisions to a local furniture store, then couldn't find anyone to do the install. So I'm just there getting all the details straight when the general manager of the store walks up, introduces himself, and then begins a pretty good sales pitch to get me to come to work for them.
The details are far from set, but here is what he's promised so far....More money than I make now, 401k with a better match than I have now, stock options which I don't have now, and a new van. I've already got a new van with my current company, but everything else sounds pretty good. I've been with this outfit every since I got out of the Army, and have made good money with them. I've got one of the better supervisors in the company. They have always taken pretty good care of me, though recently I've seen a couple people I cared about get cut loose for various B.S. reasons. If anyone has any good reasons why I should/shouldn't take this job, let me know.

When it comes to jobs, I give advice to nobody... not even your dad! You go with your gut feeling and you'll be fine.
This from your dad: Be sure and bargain for vacation time so you can come and see us.
I know where you are coming from.. G. and I just recently got a job offer for us as a couple and it sounds good... but our current jobs are ok..and stable.. and we are doing o.k. So we are doing the should we/shouldn't we game. My best advice is go with your gut. Sometimes the grass just looks greener.. sometimes it really IS greener <g>

From my heart, I say, "follow your heart." It may not be the best advise ever, but Kevin has left a primo job for better money, and been screwed. He's also taken the "sounds great" job, and been happy. Follow your heart. You know what's best for your family.
Go with your gut. My hubby did not and now he is underpaid and getting too old to change to better job. I am with your Dad bargain for vacation time!!
