Time to move?

Last week I was in town picking up my will. Ya.. you know la, ever since my dad passed away without a will, I saw how tough it was without a will so I quickly had one drafted out.

Anyway, when I was in town, I was contacted by my old firm's Head of Malaysia and he wanted to have a chat with me in terms of how I was getting along etc etc. To cut a long story short, we discussed pros and cons of where I was, whether I was happy and what my next move was. Of course, I told him that job satisfaction was very high when I used to work in my old firm, the only issue being the ability to be promoted.. that was when this Head of Malaysia proceeded to explain that the firm is no longer the way it was, no longer is sales seen to be the only reason for promoting someone...

Of course la.. u guys may know, I left my old firm purely due to the fact that I found it tough that someone with my execution skills got bypassed.. the firm was still a good place to grow, to learn etc etc. Yes, I'm sentimental, so sue me.

But I told this person I spoke to that I have 2 issues now, if at the end of the day he wanted me back in the firm
1. I am now a prostitute. I am quite happy with my compensation
2. What would I come back as.

I was told that it would be difficult to bring me back as an SE (well whoopee doo). Boo :(

To question 1, I was told that nowadays, SMs (that's what I left as) can even make more...

So I told him that bottom line, I would be coming back to restart my career at the exact same point where I left... not very exciting eh?
