Sounds to me like you are working in a med (less than 1000 employees company) and are considering moving to a larger organization, ie a Schedule "A" bank. The banks have merit as an employer as they are seen as being "stable". They are to a degree, but what you lose working for these large company's is the ability to influence decisions... nothing and I mean nothing gets done at a bank without a great deal of effort. The politics at these organizations is also fraught with pain! Just a word to the wise... you may have more money in your pocket at the end of the year, but YOU have to put a price on the "golden handcuffs" that they apply to their enployees. HH

^ is not the kind of advice I would be taking... this is setting you up for career suicide with your current employer. My suggestion to you regarding the new opportuntuy, is to determin whether this new position will have you learning a skill that is going to be marketable. You must also determin what if any lifestyle changes the new position will require you to do... ie, travel, longer hours etc... Also, I would do some soul searching as to why you should consider making a move. Is there anything that your current employer is not providing you or that you would ideally like from them. Making a career move for more money is not making a career move, it's making a financial move... there is nothing wrong with that, but if money is your sole motivator, well, you could probably make more anual income by going contracting, then moving to another full time permanent position. The difference after taxes is negligible. It is quite likley that I have some "inside" knowledge regarding the company you are considering... I'd be happy to pass along any info I have to you... just shot me a pm... HH

Terrible news... he was always there for anyone who needed help and would freely offer his life and work experience to any who needed it... Our little family here will have one heck of a hole to fill... Condolences to his family and friends... HH

I think most views are from guys trying to find out what brand of marshmellow works best in the spring... keep yer mouth closed Dann, don't be giving away our secrets! HH

DO a search here on "Pinery" and you'll find a lot of info... Just sayin! HH

Very sorry for your loss... HH

I watched the whole thing last night, kinda waiting for the train wreck to take place. Human nature forces one to watch disasters as they unfold... Best line of the night, I thought anyway, was from Layton. Now I am not a fan of the guy, but I do appreciate a good line. Layton to Harper... as best my memory serves... Mr. Harper, we don't need anymore penitentiaries, the folks in the Senate are quite happy where they are! HH

I believe that I to, was simply thanking Ron for the link... but also commenting on the what seems to happen whenever anyone posts anything on here... and that was also intended to be a general statement that once again, got misconstrued. I guess that eventually I will be thanking folks for note posting things, in the future! HH

Thanks Ron... I have saved the site as well and am looking forward to seeing it further developed... as seems to be standard operating procedure here, there will alswyws be haters... simply ignoring them will help with your blood pressure! Again, thanks for the link! HH

Timmies only make their doughnuts in one place... Brantford. They are then flash frozen and shipped that way to your local shop. They are then heated by the shop "baker" and put out for customers. Keep going to Timmies guys, Izumi needs his sponsorship! HH
