Hello,
At my old employer, I worked in a team with various levels of experience but all at the same title. I was the young guy out of B school and I was working with some more seasoned vets. Well, a lot of my team left the company (along with me) and I stayed in touch with one of my closer colleagues. We always had a good relationship and still grab lunch together every so often. He was one of the more seasoned vets.
Well, he just got placed in a Sr. Manager level at a CPG company and he texted me and said my company is relocated HQ up here by us and he was going to shoot over positions for me in the future. Well, I had lunch with him today and he laid the little details that he had and pretty much told me that the job was mind if I wanted it. This is all IF everything plays out to what he thinks it is.
I am on the hook with a sign on bonus with my company until March 23rd, but I think I would leave the company after 1 year. I know by leaving I will get a promotion to Sr FA, a nice bump in pay, and a bonus. No details, but I told him how much I made and he said he shouldnt have a problem getting me a nice bump on it. He said he wanted to bring me in because he understands how I work and he wants someone to see the same way as him so they can continue moving the same direction.
Is there any foreseeable issues with working for him? I would say that we are friends, but not BEST friends, just good business friends.
