    Default What would you do? Job related.

    Well here is the scenerio - actual situation. While I am very content with my current job, its potential for growth is extremely limited. So on a lark I posted my Resume on several bulletin boards to see what was out there.

    Two weeks go by, and all of a sudden I am getting calls concerning possible jobs. One seems to be with a growing company that has the market niche for sports replenishment drinks. Looks like a good job, except that the plant is union. Which is not a big deal in the state of Texas, limited power for most Unions.

    So here is the poll, what would you do. Stay in the comfortable job, that really presents no challenge, safe and easy, however limited growth.

    Take the new job at a higher pay for a better potential for future growth.

    Or do I sell everything, divorce the wife, and buy myself a biciycle and tour Europe?

    Poll coming up.

    What is really funny I was not really seriousily looking for new employment, just wanting to check what might be available, and the first call was very encouraging and the company seems to be very eager to hire me.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    If you think your vote has impact on the decision, think again. Just taking a sample of what people would do in a similiar decision. I have actually about reached the decision. Just have to give the current company an opporunity to counter. But I thought it would be amusing and a change of pace from the normal run of threads of the last few days. Have fun coming up with other scenerios or opitions if you wish.
