Late check in woods, glad to see ya'll active.
Long dinner with old boss tonight. Wants me back, always did.
I can trade my rather sedate life for a bit (bunch) more chaos, and a much bigger pot of money......like my current salary + 1/3 more.
Hmmmmm.

Stan, hard to say. Would you still have that hellish commute or would they be amenable to throwing in a few days from the "home office"?

45 minutes from home. Much more travel, like my past endovors, likely negotiate some home office. Back in the custom job shop with some proprietary product. Poly, etc rotational molding. Used to be their sales manager and they keep growing.

You sure you want to get back out here? The money sounds good BUT, being home has its advantages. If you take the job, make sure you let them know you're attending a high level sales workshop in Colorado this summer.
