A friend of mine told me his company was looking for an executive assistant/marketing assistant. I worked on my resume last night and sent it to my friend who forwarded it to his boss. I wasn't sure about this job but all my friends pushed me to take it like yesterday.
The pros: - I would move to a metropolitan area and leave this town with all the bad memories (marriage, house...) - being in the metropolitan area means hanging out daily with all my friends and meet new people - pay will be more than double - better work experience and no more working weekends! - hopefully getting my own apartment instead of roommates - traveling for work! And even going back to my country since that's where the headquarters is based.
The cons: - The office is only like 5 people and most of them travel for work. But on the plus side, that means I can work with the radio - my friend is interviewing for another job so he would be leaving soon
My friend wants to leave because his boss back home is preventing him from promoting and is being too controlling. Even if he is located across an ocean, he is controlling him and there's not much his boss here in the US can do. He even wants him to wake up at 3am to review some documents! My friend moved to the US because a billion $ client wanted him closer. Which pissed off the controlling boss. I think he fears my friend is going to be his boss one day! My friend is 28 and this guy is 33.
No interview yet. He just got my resume a couple hours ago.
