I got contacted by a headhunter today. I am very happy with my present job, and not looking. the job that they contacted me about is probably a small increase from my present job, but not huge. I am an extremely good fit for what they are looking for, and I think that the headhunter came across me talking to people in my industry. not an company that competes with mine. I told him what I made this year, and I told him that I wasn't willing to relocate, and he said that the job would allow me to continue to work from home most of the time like I do now.
my job is good, and going well. the only down side is that my boss is planning on retiring in the next 3-4 years, and there is nobody from the potential replacements that I want to work for, and I have understood that I won't be a viable candidate for her job. so I could end up working for somebody I don't like. also, its a family business, and when the CEO retires, probably in 5 years, there is a chance they could sell the company and that would mean me loosing my job. so in the short term I am very happy, but I will probably have to look for a new job in 3-7 years, when I will be 47 to 50.
so, here's the thing, I am not sure that I am interested in the job, but I do like the idea that a headhunter found me, and I want to keep the channel open and possible develop a situation where more headhunters will think of me.
ok - from those of you who are adults and have a relevant opinion - please let me know your thoughts.
