Shall i go for it? : Stage2
« on: 10 June 2008, 14:26:29 »

Some of you may remember i posted up saying a very similar job role to what i do here in London, has become vacant in our HQ in San Jose, CA.

Well i went to my boss who is the Director of Infrastructure, and he said yip, no probs, shame to see you go, speak to HR about applying.

So i did, they said update your CV and we can apply.

Before i could, had to get approval from the UK CEO, he gave his go-ahead yesterday.

He has now e-mailed the US CEO and big boss person  :o

So what this space!

got a few questions for the interview which will help me decide.

Main points for me are:

1) Will the role in San Jose, be as varied as here. (i do alot of things outside my job description)

2) Will they match the salary i get here

3)Costs relating to Visa/Moving, will there be a relocation package.

I need the answers to those before i would say yes/make my decision.

I am secretly hoping for that, but some how i doubt it.

One bit of good luck, maybe bad, is i am in the Canary Islands next week, and the US team is visiting us then.

I highly doubt they will fly me out there, we have a video conference setup in one of the offices, bet they will use that  :(
