I'm in final stage negotiations about an offer back east. I'm just waiting for the formal written offer letter (verbal agreement already met). Unless something goes sideways at the last minute (unlikely, but always a possibility) I'll be out of here in the next few weeks. Probability about 90-95%.
A lot of upsides, but naturally I have mixed feelings too - not the least of which is my wife having to probably give up her job (which she loves) and hope to find something in this crappy economy.
There's also a chance I might get hooked up with a gig overseas through a close friend of mine who's currently working in Qatar (energy business). Lower probability of success (maybe 25% that it'll actually come through) but if it does, I'm gone - even if it's after I've taken the other job. Living overseas, mostly tax-free in a wealthy country with no job security issues for the foreseeable future sounds just fine to me.
