 I once got oferred a job in a brand new logistics/shipping company, when i had the interview there was a total of 2 staff in 1 rented room, so i had a similar dilema, Do i stay where i was in a well paid job/secure job or leave  :-k


  The shipping company now has 17 branches around the world


  I decided back then to stay where i was  :roll:   

  Guess if there are jobs out there in your industry, Then why not ?   "One life" n all that  ;)

Bush Tucker Man:
Joanne (SWMBO) was head-hunted into the post she holds now (& offered a post previously too!)

She was working for the same NHS Trust as I do (but she'd been there a lot longer; in both Nursing & 'managerial' posts)

The first time, she was on the 'New Hospital Development Board', & was asked by one of the bidders (a multi-national construction company) who was impressed with her reports/documents/constructive criticisms/relevent questions that they asked if she was interested in working for another arm of the company...........

As a Director, in their Dallas office :shock:

However, 'small-child' was still very much a toddler at that point, so we decided it wouldn't be fair to 'rob' both sets of grand-parents the chance to see her grow up.

But..... if the same offer (or similar happens again; for Canada, or Australia, we might just consider it)



Then, 5 years ago, a small Consultancy that was involved offered her a position, as a 'Principle Consultant In Health Provision Facilities Design', which was exactly what she was already doing.

This time she 'jumped ship', as it was UK based (with a Leeds office)

To date, she's been involved with (& consulted over), or helped lead projects for Hospitals/clinics in;
Leicester (Royal & 'Glenfields')
Market Harborough
London (Guys & St, Thomas's)
Liverpool
Newport & Cardiff
Hartlepool
etc.....



I've told her, if she gets another good pay-rise, I'm quitting the NHS & becoming a 'house-husband'/'kept man'

The reply scorched even my A&E hardened ears :angel:
