I'm considering getting out.... when I land, I can certainly sniff around for you so long as you don't mind coming all the way in to the Loop.

bummer, do you lose power frequently?
Lol at CSB story. ive been involved in those types of "car guy" talks before.
Once you get the "how much horsepower?" question, usually where it goes downhill.
would probably prefer that since close to chicago , commute probably way easier using public transportation :iono:

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
I'd love to work in the loop. The addison blue line is a 5 min walk from my house. Sure beats the hour+ commute to the burbs every day.
I'm topped out at my company, director of business/product development and there's not going to be any more big raises despite showing them an 16:1 ROI last quarter.

Yeah I hear ya. Part of the reason I'm considering leaving. I'm paid well where I'm atand enjouy my team/coworkers/boss but I have nowhere to go. I can do a lateral and pick up more work + my old team from my previous tenure here... but there's nowhere to go there, either. The only people I'd be willing to work under are company lifers who are also under-titled and aren't going anywhere unless they die. So that caps out everybody under them.
And our division is doing really well - but being part of a much, much larger company... our portion makes up like 10% of the total #. And before we can bonus out, the entire company has to do well. We can (and often do) work furiously and kill our #'s every quarter but when another division responsible fo 40% is slacking... we all get hosed. "Thanks for exceeding target by 20%.... unfortunately that other division over there, that has nothing to do with us, missed target... therefore no bonuses this year. Sorry."

Story of my damn life right there. I'm constantly bailing out other departments when it comes to budget, very frustrating.

Yeah.
Leaving here (again) is going to be tough. It was a lot easier to leave when it was a "Fuck this place". I see it now for what it is, and it's actually a pretty good place to work. For me, I fell off the appropriate "career trajectory" years ago without realizing it, and there's no way for me to get back on the right trajectory without quitting. So now I've got to decide what's more important... getting back on the right path, or merely "settling in" where I'm at. Being 41 years old now... I'm behind, and settling in might certainly mean total death for career advancement.
