Thanks for checking in Mr. Silver.

Last Tuesday I picked up their benefits brochure and compared their package to mine, and talked with an accountant I know to try to value the pension plan I would be leaving behind. I calculated a high figure to factor in everything, a low figure to cover base wages and out of pocket which would allow the bonus to try to make up the difference, and a few levels in between.

On Thursday I emailed my contact, requesting an in-person meeting so we could discuss the offer. I didn't give any numbers in my email as I think this is better done in person. I have not received a response yet. I know they have a lot of travel going on, so I'm attributing the lack of response to that.

While I think this is a good opportunity in many ways, it is not vital and necessary at this point for me to move to another job. If they want me, we'll figure out something that works for all parties.

Thank you for your excellent counsel on the subject. I'm still hopeful!

Hugs and butterflies,
