Right or Right Now


So my interview for a banking consultant position went extremely well. The position looks intriquing, the length of the contract being roughly 3 years is stable, and what could come out of is appealing.

However herein lays the question. Is this the right job or given my circumstances the right now job?

This is a position that I am qualified for, would probably pay me at least the same as I was making before and would offer training and development and a career progression plan for long term success.

Problem is, given my feeling of working in the industry, do I want more of the same thing or something different.

There are pro's as I mentioned to taking this position with the company should it be offered to me in that it would definitely enable me to provide for my family and especially allow Kerry to take 12 weeks off for maternity leave. But my issue is do I want to lead by example for my son and wait for the right opportunity and find something that I would be excited to do, or more or less be the responsible husband and father and take this to support my family?

In any event, I have to go with the feeling that nothing is definite. But situations like this are the only viable ones that I am seeing thus far and I may need to bite the bullet at least in the interim given what's going on.

2 weeks Today

Can't believe it's been 2 weeks since this happened. Still in a little bit of shock. Despite all that I am still chugging along, setting up meetings and looking at opportunities. Still amazed at the support I've gotten from friends and former colleagues. Thank you all.

As for today, I am taking Kerry to the doctor for her 31 week visit and then heading to one of my former employers branches to close out my accounts there. I guess this will really mean the end of my relationship with that organization. Kind of dreading it yet looking forward to it at the same time.

Keeping my spirits up for now. Thanks to anyone who is listening.
