I've decided that I cannot leave my current job. Getting them to pay for my MBA is too good to pass up.
Speaking of which, I took the GMAT on Tuesday. It went fairly well. I flew through the test without taking the optional breaks and I got out of there about an hour before I figured I would. I received an unofficial score of 640, so I'm happy with that. Now it just submitting all the paperwork and waiting for acceptance into the program that starts in January.

Choices
Yesterday I received a phone call from a guy that I used to work with. He just had lunch with a guy he used to work with. That guy is now the CFO for a publicly traded company. Through the "good ole boy" network, I now have an opportunity to become the Assistant Controller and/or Controller for said company and virtually meet my professional goal that I had set the day I graduated from college.
Here is my dilemma.
1. I enjoy the place where I currently work and I am just one step away from accomplishing the same goal at this job. If things go the direction I think they will, that could be next year. Things could also go a completely different direction and I could be in the unemployment line again.
2. On the surface it looks like the pay will be higher, but I'm currently not a traditional salaried position. I get paid straight-time overtime. If I work 50 hours, I get paid for 50 hours. That basically pushes me up to the starting salary of the offered position. Bonus structure is the wild card.
3. I also have a written agreement with my current employer that they will pay 100% for me to get my MBA next year. I'm not sure if I can get the same deal elsewhere.
4. I have always been with privately owned companies. The new position will allow me to gain experience in SEC reporting and Sarbanes Oxley.
