I've been working for a major financial publication for the last 8 months & have been rated as an 'A' employee.
Today I received 2 calls (one being a voice mail) from the secretary of a former employee, let's call him John. He held a senior position at my company and joined a big name international financial publication a couple of months ago. She said that John wanted me to call him on his cell phone, either during business hours or (stressing this point) after business hours.
John and I had been on pretty good terms before he left and knew that I was really into online advertising. Coincidentally, John was recently promoted as the US head of online advertising at his company.
So hmmm, I'm thinking this is an ambush job offer
What do you think?
for those who are right - will update this thread once I talk to him later on today.
Update: Yes, it's a job offer - I just don't know whether this is a good time for me to switch or not since my gf is pregnant & that'll mean I'll have to give up a lot of freedom (long lunches, mornings / afternoons off, etc). Also, I'm about a year away from finishing off my MBA thru evening classes. There's a decent pay hike but the job will be a lot of work - I'm guessing I'll need to put a 10+ hour work days on a regular basis. It's a management position, so shit's always gonna flow uphill - not sure whether I need all the extra stress in my life right now.
for all !!!
