I've been offered a new job with a German company, US Director of Sales. I'm thinking I'm gonna take it. But-- I'm torn. I should be doing back flips. Good title, new opportunity in a Shitty Economy; hooray for me, right?? Can't put my finger on it.
I'm working for the Previous Company, as a consultant, and, while it's Not My Dream Job, it's comfortable. In a way that your family, who annoys the shit out of you is comfortable. Like where they won't really let me sell anything. Like where people underestimate my ability, because they won't let me sell anything. It's not me, people... All these crazy rules- can't sell to Texas. Really- anywhere in Texas. Really?!? Why? Some lawsuit, where they got out of it by saying that they don't have any customers in Texas. So-- we have to keep it that way. Weird beyond measure. Can't sell to anyone who might be doing work that our secret customer/sister company is interested in. Because that might prevent them from selling the sister company for bazillions of dollars.... sigh.... hard to keep up. So-- present job-- Not Ideal. But- they're paying me. Sometimes I feel like they're paying me too well- to keep me fat and happy and kind of stupid. Have I sold my soul, without realizing it?
BUT-- the new job. I have my doubts because, in essence - it was too easy. I met with one of the co-founders for dinner one night. At the end of dinner he asked me to join. Huh? No additional interviews? no visit to meet the board? Give a presentation? No checking my references? Nothing? Seems weird to me. Maybe I should just not over think. Maybe I'll regret this decision.
Stay tuned....
