I called in favors all the way up to SVPs who have the ear of the COO. Big orgs suck and this acquisition in a year or so will put me in the 15th largest bank in the country, but I’m well liked enough to get people to go out on a limb for me.

Maybe, but you and I are facing somewhat similar dilemmas in the big vs smaller company debate. It's worth considering a bit more before

Think about why you started applying in the first place. Are there certain elements that made you want to leave that changed? If so, are those changes temporary? I wouldn't focus so much on compensation, but more on development and the opportunity to find somewhere you truly enjoy. This place has been a bit of a rollercoaster for you, it's worth spending major time at. Harmon is a big company that could provide a lot more development opportunity.

My focus is almost entirely on culture this go round.

Yeah, the thing is... I think I'm mostly excited about Harman due to the fact that they have a Pro Audio Division, which I would much rather do... but this role isn't in it. Upon further research, it also seems like their Pro division is kind of dying/not a market leader. It seems maybe not worth it to hope that it will lead to something in the Pro division later on.

It is also a big corp and I have reservations about that. My previous company was 125 people worldwide, current is 1500 people. I honestly enjoyed the smaller company more, corp. stuff is sort of

I really just need to stop giving a shit and try to be happy as a cog.

Corp stuff fucking blows dude. Because it's not just getting the job done, it's dealing with politics and layers of worthless mgmt that only exist to create bullshit. I'd really think twice about taking a gig with a big corp, it would need to be an ideal role with an ideal mgmt group that I could see myself doing well in. At least, that's how I'm viewing GM right now. I'm not even nervous for my 3 hours of interviews and presentations tomorrow because I'm interviewing them more than them interviewing me. Hard part is turning down a good offer.

And being a cog fucking blows. I couldn't do it, some people just can't. That's OK.

Yep, at every stage these guys have warned me/asked about how I would the corporate/political

They are pretty upfront about it all, which is cool. The direct bossbro guy seems 5/7 and would be really chill to work with. His bossbro seems like a good dude as well. I am leaning towards it not being worth the risk. I think I would enjoy the job a bit more and would love to just do something different, I've been in this job for three years doing the exact same shit and have been bored since day one. That said, for what seems at best a lateral move to a corp. giant...

I am well respected at my current place and certainly have a future there. It's the evil I know but other than hating what I actually do, it's a great company from a culture/people/pay/beneshits standpoint.

I'm clearly a , but I didn't really like what I did for 24 years at my company but stayed here mostly because the culture/people were/are 5/7, and the pay and beneshits are solid. It was only 4.5 years ago when I pushed for my current position to be created that I finally started to like what I did. Point being, culture and coworkers count for a LOT for job happiness and fulfillment.

That is one of the main reasons this place exists, we all gotta vent

Speaking of Greece. They just let cars going into the borders for those who aren't EU citizens from Turkey. My family and I almost booked a flight, cause Greece only allowed for anyone coming with a US passport for flight only, until this morning. Also for flights, the PCR test required to come 5 hours early upon departure.

Booked one night for Alexandropoli as we're leaving Istanbul sunday night, which is a 3 hour drive. 2 nights in Thessaloniki and 2 nights in Athens.

Thanks man. Last year when I went in they took off a few chunks to biopsy. Hopefully this time she doesn’t even see anything that concerns her enough to take it off and send it to the lab.
