Recent history: had been employed by a large European based firm, at an office in the US, from January 2006 thru March 2007 (potential lay-offs fueled the decision). I left there to go to a small (approximately 550 person) company and have been there since. I've recently received overtures that I would be welcomed back. I am at a loss as to what to do. Both jobs have their pluses and minuses. I am concerned that my resume will look suspect if I move on after such a short period of time. At this time in my life (48, married, two kids-junior in HS and last year of middle school), security and long term outlook are more important than short-term gains.

Any HR types care to chime in, i.e. how are revolving door moves viewed....is it a plus or minus that I've been asked back (no firm offer, just exploratory talk at this point) if I were to choose to go?
