is who i need to ask, and query on my latest.

a career change in order??

got the offer today from a world wide home builder (a builder who is a major sponsor of the SJ grand prix). it is about 15-20% more than i am making now (salary, car allowance included, any year end bonuses not) good bennies, and a chance to learn residential site development from different angle than i am doing now. i am talking horizontal construction, the stuff before the homes are built,grading, water, sewer, storm systems, roadway construction, paving and concrete, and utilities.

this would not be as much field work as i do now, more of an office gig with some field stuff. i love the freedom of my current position. there will be more estimating, cost analysis, and forward planning. this would be an opportunity to learn a whole new end of development while being paid pretty well. i know my spelling here could not instill a lot of confidence, but really i am smart when it counts.

what’s the down side? i give up the job security i have now with a public agency, the great retirement and a cush deal.. what should i do?


thanks for you insight and experiences.
