[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 354847, member: 4264"] I think talking to the other company can't hurt. At the same time, I have a policy with my S/O regarding his job. ENJOY it!!! There is so much to be said for enjoying your job. And sometimes money is worth more to someone than a title. Sometimes that higher title and more responsabilities goes far to making a employee fee valued and utilized for his true abilities. Know what I mean?? I've always told my S/O that even WITH more money, everyone simply SPENDS more money. True really. Who wouldn't love more money? And having gone down such a percentage in your household, I imagine that wasn't fun at all. Yet you've all managed somehow. We do tend to adapt don't we? There may be a good reason the position isn't filled yet. This could be a chance for your husband to tell this other company "You know, I am truly happy where I am right now. I am making less money which is certainly a downfall (And a perk to considering the position you are offering). However, I enjoy the position and the responsabilities. I don't want to work long term in a position that won't include "XYZ", such as I have at my current position. What does your company offer for me if I were to consider the current position that is open? Is there room for me to work up to where i am at current company? Is it feasible or just a "maybe" scenario"?" . Nothing in those questions undermines his chance at the job, and it certainly would show his commitment to his job and showcase his abilities. A pay raise is great, but a drop down in position/rank might not feel so great. Maybe this other company will be so impressed they'll have a terrific carrot to dangle for your husband. And worst case scenario, he has security at a job he likes right now anyhow :) I wish him luck regardless. Its such a trying time for people looking for work. I hope he feels complimented to be head hunted in a market flooded with people desperate for work. It is a real compliment for sure!!!! [/QUOTE]
