WOOHOO! I got me a new job!, No more Asia trips.... Options

[nine14cats]

As a few of you know, I have been living 3 out of every 8 weeks in Asia for the past 5 years. The business I manage (Light Emitting Diodes) LED's has been growing 50% year on year over that time. It represents 1/3 of my companies revenue.

My buddy and I did the Sales, Marketing, and Technical design support. He was living there and I was there 40%. After all the growth, the company still didn't want to add resouces, so I started looking.

My new job will be primarily North America Marketing and Business Development for a rival LED supplier of my current company. I'll still travel, but it's out on Monday, back by Friday once a month. No more giving up 2 to 3 weekends or midnite calls to Hong Kong or Taiwan.

I am extremely happy. It sure is a great July 4th!......

My new boss called me today. He said he didn't want to wait to next week to offer me the job.....I like this guy... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

I'm sure glad he called. I was scheduled to be on the road 5 out of the next 8 weeks.....but now I'm staying home!!!!!
