Default Re: Job Offer

From what I recall from your previous posts, this was a top tier wall street firm that screwed around with you as to when they'd move you up to a position you deserved. I don't know what the new job is, but the salary potential of those places is huge after a couple years at a real position. I also seem to recall that your old job had something to do with the trading floor, which has reasonable hours. If the new one is along those lines (I'm assuming that its a step up, otherwise you wouldn't be asking), then I'd guess the hours are bearable. So its not like you'd be working a 90 hour week. Also, if you have any interest in business school, this will help you get into a really good one. I don't think you have much to lose by taking the job if you're still pretty young. You know you can do very well in poker, and that will always be there, even if the games tighten up. I'd be thinking about taking it, doing it for 5-10 years, and retiring. You can always play poker.
