So I kind of have a situation here. I'm gainfully employed, have a few nitpicks about my current job, but nothing that would cause me to set out on a job hunt on a whim.
Well, I just got an e-mail from a manager at another company that I talked to more than a year ago. The manager had offered me a position originally, but due to circumstances beyond either of our control, the manager wasn't able to actually put me to work at that time. Anyways, it turns out that those outside issues have finally gotten resolved, so the manager wants to set up a time to talk. He's aware that I'm probably currently working at a another company.
The position and the industry is the same as what I'm currently in. The pay is slightly better and a slightly shorter commute, but the work is likely more stressful. The e-mail pretty much threw me for a loop since I had put the situation with that company in the back of my mind -- I need a while to think things over.
I guess my question first and foremost, how long can I reasonably stall before replying to his e-mail/talking to him by phone. And how long can I reasonably stall before meeting him in person?
Feel free to offer up other comments.
