I've Been Offered a Job Full PM-box? Change here!

In Cincinnati, OH.

I really, really want it.

The only thing that is standing in our way is that wifey is very pregnant, due Aug. 22ish, and they don't like you to move the pregers around too much this late in the pregnancy. The Dr. said it's fine to move her up to 6 weeks before due date, so it should work if I can get out there within the next few weeks, and the job wants me to start by the end of July.

This job will allow wifey to stay home and take care of the kid, us to not have to worry about money, and we will be able to live in an area that is less stressful to me, and thus less harmful to my health.

So, while I should be jumping up and down, I am scared to tell wifey that we need to move in the next month as I know it will be tough on her now, but better in the long run. Also, my boss just started a 3 week vacation, so I will be giving my 2 weeks to?... I have no idea.

That is awesome, Japher.

If the person is in charge of hiring the new employee has really been struck by something positively distinctive about your qualifications and really would prefer to hire you over other current applicants, maybe you can tell him your situation?

Explain to me more, but maybe it's the type of job that if they have to, they can delay hiring you until after the end of August instead of in late July??

Space, I know.. we'll take him to Cuba for few summers to get his hands working too.. make his boxing superior at young age.. then to Brazil to train his BJJ, he'll be the youngest Abu Dhabi champion, and that will earn him most likely a shot at better fighting organisation in MMA.. I'd say after that he should easily get a shot at King Of The Cage, but we might go to Japan and work for Pancrase for a year or two, we want the belt within the first 18 months, so if they won't give us a shot, like 3 fights tops and then ranked #1 contender and shot at the belt, we'll move to KOTC instead and get that deal. We'll go for Shooto too, get ring experience.. I'll say he can start fighting hard at the age of .. 14.. in my gym. We won't put him against bigger and older guys before he turns 17, so he can handle himself. We won't go for meaningless beatings, we want to win. Maybe for falls we go to Thailand to get his Muay Thai in order.. so we got about 6 months of the year cut out training outside the US, and the reamining 6 months I'll put him working in Ohio because his mom and dad want him there. And I figure he wants to finish school.

But I figure before 20, we can choose between Pride and UFC. And we will choose Pride. For better money and future. Superstar!

Job is pretty much the same thing I do know, only for a company of about 200 instead of one of about 200,000.

It pays less in salary, but cost of living is much better in Cincinnati than here in San Jose. Also, they have stock options, profit sharing, and merit pay... So, compensation will be a little less, but not much, and more when you factor the cost of living in to it.

The company has been around for 25+ years and is growing. Their stock is nice and has a good evaluation.

The company has given me $6500 to use to move with. We need to fly out there and look, this would require hotels and meals. Then we would definitly hire movers, we aren't that stupid. There will definitly be some out of pocket expenses, but worth it in the long run.

Japher, no he won't fight underaged.. we just start training early so he'll be good when he's of age.. and experienced.. We aren't making him break his bones in stupidity. This is all in the name of protection. He will be able to kill... to protect. So it's good.

As a parent I would say that moving before the baby is born is just as easy if not more so than trying to move IMMEDIATELY after the baby is born. The big problem is if your wife has a regular doc, she may wish to have that doc see things through.


I just don't relish the idea of moving with a 5 or 10 day old. If she CAN move in advance of the birth and you are happy with the medical care you can arrange in Ohio, I would move ahead of time.


Oh and congratulations.
