Not that this really matters to you guys....
As many of you are aware, I am in the mortgage business. Since March of 2008 when I was part of a massive layoff by one of the major banks, times have been tough. I have been laid off three different times since then due to companies just plain shutting down. I lost all my savings, my house, and my pride. The mortgage melt down hit very hard. Since the last layoff I have been working with some friends doing mortgage compliance work and "adjusting" to my new lifestyle. I miss the good old days.
Today, I finally got an offer worth the wait. The company is mid-size...nothing special or big, but the job is a good one. I will now be an executive VP in charge of all secondary marketing activities. Nice low six figure offer. Good positioning to be ready when the big guys get their act together and true secondary mortgage markets return. Bad part is that I have to re locate...again. At least I am a renter now so that isn't the huge deal it would be if I had to sell a house.
Not sure if this is any kind of indicator on the mortgage business or the economy, but it is nice to be back in the game at any level.
Might actually be able to take a real vacation next year.
