I made the same move in 2000. Don't forget that you're not comparing apples to apples when looking at comp package. I took a 75% pay cut to move home, but my new lifestyle was comparable. It is so much cheaper & more pleasant to live here. Good luck!

Any advice/info appreciated- thank you.


He should work his own network.

I hear the president like to hire the Wall St douchebags who ruined our economy in the first place. Check with him.

A job in the Treasurer's Office of a corporation might be a fit.
