You know, when I had a >$50K severance package on the table, no one wanted to look at my resume. When I let that go and decided to stick with my job for my child's sake, I can't get people to leave me alone.

I just got an email from a headhunter for a job in Basil. Switzerland. It's actually tempting: Lead Scientific Publisher/Head of Scientific Report Publishing Group, Strategic Planning & Operations.

Thinking "oh, what the hell!", I sent my resumé. I got a call back within a minute of hitting "send". I haven't called back - there's shoveling to be done.

Switzerland is probably more fiscally secure than the US at this point. I'd at least consider it.

Wow...

You must have some good credentials. How would your kid feel about it?

You don't have to change your alignment to Neutral when you move there.

I think they saw the resume and might want me for something a bit lower on the food chain.

But yeah, I am that good. ;)

Who knows. I have her >50% of the time now, she wants to spend more time with me, and I make considerably more money.

But the move won't happen - they want someone who has managed a minimum of 7-8 people, and my group was only 2. (My company had very few groups that large.)

But it was nice that my other qualifications were on track.
