Caution: Keep Off The Grass (Sometimes!)

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!

There comes a time in one's career when we are faced with possibilities....maybe we are comfortable where we are in life...things are running on even keel....and...then.... "Super Recruiter" makes a visit and provides us with "possibilities"....more money....bigger title...different industry...all things add up to "excitement".
It feels great to go for interviews and find out...we "are" great....it seems...we are the next best thing to sliced bread! Our egos run rampant....and....our current roles...well, suddenly we feel we are not appreciated...we aren't getting the accolades we deserve... the "new" company sees so such promise ..and... we question...why is our current management sitting on their hands...
Sound familiar??
Well, the grass isn't always greener...there are brown spots everywhere...there are times when we are so caught up with the excitement.....we only see what we want to see.
I'm not here to tell you not to take a risk...I am all about risk and reward...but, keep your perspective... make a list of pros and cons...does your current company offer you things the new company will not (i.e. flex time)
So, take a walk on the grass...but, be aware...it's not ALL green!
Your Employment Yenta....(Just call me "T")

PS...for all of you in Irene's path...be safe...
