job offer...

Got a job offer this morning (finally).

Not one I had expected to here from, actually, as it has been about 9 weeks since I applied, on a lark at that...

And if I accept, it means moving again... and a lot further than I'd been looking of late (let's just say Toronto would be closer)...

So a lot of you are gonna say "If you want to stay closer to Pictou County, why the hell would you take a job that is further away than EVAR!" ... well, let me tell you why(though I haven't made my mind up yet... need to discuss it with some 'folks' first ;-)

First, the pay. $72,000/annum, AMERICAN! That is in the ball-park of 6 figures Canadian, which, for those incompetent folks amongst y'all, IS A LOT OF FUCKING MONEY!!!!!

Secondly, I'd be in a managerial position, something I've been wanting(needing?) for some time now... you can only go so far when at the bottom of your respective food-chain(or close enough as to not make a difference).

Third, the job is, pretty much, an exact match for what I'm best at. Marketing Analytics, Customer Segmentation, Consumer Profiling... it's all there... so I know I'll have no problems getting the job done (I'd hate to put the expense into another relocate and get canned 6-weeks in... so this is a huge plus for me... considering a lot of the jobs I've been tossing my name out for of late are not exactly my chosen career path... but you do what you gotta do...)

So, I'm looking for a little advice from y'all... what should I do? I'm leaning heavily towards taking the job... but I've got this little voice in the back o' me head saying "you will regret it..." -- not entirely sure why this voice is there, but, regardless, it is... oh my, decisions, decisions... help?
