    Same company but on the corporate side. Merchandising execution team.

    They do resets in the stores. There is a supervisor position opening up, my DM says go for it, it would be a good opportunity. I have ins with the DM and RVP of MET in my area so I think my chances are good. Pay would be the same or more since it is a laterial move. The most attractive part is the hours, mon thru Friday 5am - 2pm, weekends off and every federal holiday off paid. Chance of Advancement is better since its corporate side of the business.

    I made a huge difference when I took over the department I am in now 6 years ago, took from a losing money department to a making money department, I believe I can do the same with the met team at my current store.

    Its a risk but screw it I am going for it.

    Nice man! Get them bills! Are they relocating you? If not it sounds like you've got a hell of a deal there.

    Good luck, you won't grow in your career unless you move out of your comfort zone, smart move. Make the $$$, pay yourself first in a Roth, IRA, 401k, so you can possibly retire younger. It's all about wise choices.

    Waking up every day and not having to work ever again and still getting paid well because you planned is a beautiful thing. Now 18 months into retirement and it's mind blowing.

    Good luck, sir. It'll only happen if it's what is supposed to happen. If it doesn't, there's a reason.

    None so far
    Would it have been better in the long run since you said it had better chances for advancement? Plus you would get some sweet hours that you liked.

    No I don't believe so. It would have taken years to recover the wages. If I would have kept my pay I would took the offer.
