Staying Put

Congratulations to wanderer on his new job. I don't intend this to be snarky in any way.

On to my story.

Last Friday I turned down an incredible opportunity. 50% pay bump (after getting the same bump when I switched jobs last year), chance to make a big impact on a huge company. However, it would have been an onsite gig requiring relocation to Kansas City.

Those of you who've heard me piss and moan know that I am bipolar and have a fragile functioning state. I have a low threshold for change. Too much too quickly and I fall apart. While it would be nice to be so close to friends and family (most in St. Louis), it would be a big gamble.

I'm staying put. I don't dislike where I am. The flexibility to work from anywhere is great.
