it's different for me, as i don't live in a area with big multinational companies, and i don't want the commute to Brussels or Antwerp, or move and live there.

I've done my share of high end technical work, and it requires a lot of work just to keep pace with all the technologies, it never stops if you're backline for a company supporting 3rd line of your customers, i'm not (anymore) as much into the technical part of it as one should be at that technical level, i don't like consulting work, and most companies that deliver services, are just pants to work for , you're nothing but a billable asset to them, so they make sure you are on site 95% of your days, you have hardly any connection to your employer and colleagues

for the jobs in this region, It manager would fetch more then any technical job , insourced in a company, i could obviously be wrong , it might not be my kind of job, but there's only one way to find out , and that's by giving it a shot...
