I agree with this. The first step is to identify who is going to be making the decision/ hire.

The start date might get pushed back. I am going to look to get clarification on that today if I can. Might be a week or two longer.
This feels damn good.
Back in 2007 I left the company I was with at the time. Being a consistently top manager I couldn't imagine that I would have any problems getting the same level job again. However, a few things transpired against me- not least of which was the Great Recession. I also had some crazy things happen to me. I had one company not feel like I was a good fit for what I interviewed for (to be fair, it was a stretch for my experience) but like me so much that they wanted to create a position for me. Not long after that the CFO resigned and left the company and apparently he was the big champion for me. Another time I was going to get a an offer (I know because I knew the hiring manager personally) and no call. Followed up with him and all he knew was that the next day there was some big announcement. That announcement was that they were eliminating that job type from the whole company. Another was a hiring manager who liked me a lot and wanted to offer but the position was for a troubled work unit, her boss was worried that with me being out of the position for a couple of years it would be hard for me to get in and do well. It was agreed that they would hire me into another unit that was working smoothly already to make it easier to come back in. A few months later, that hiring manager passed away. That is just a taste of some of the struggles I have had.
Back in 2012, an old peer of mine had a position that everyone agreed I was over qualified for but the idea was to bring me in and have me work up quickly. A few things happened that impeded that, not least of all a merger which happened in 2014 and put my in a box. It basically locked me out of the normal progression because of policy and pay differences with the new company. So, I have been stuck in this job well longer than anyone would have ever expected and my patience was past redline. This was one of the few viable routes out and ends up being a great option not just for getting out but the job itself is a very good one.
Base pay is slightly better but incentive pay if I just hit my target goal is 10X's as much as my current position. Plus there is a business expense stipend that is a nice chunk which is paid separate from base pay but treated like regular pay otherwise (so, no reimbursing anything though). An extra week of vacation and flexible hours that I control are nice bonuses as well. Also, I can work partly out of home as well. It really makes a huge impact on my resume opening up a number of future positions that would otherwise been nearly impossible. Though in a different work unit, it would be considered a progression from the manager job I would have otherwise been moving to in my current work unit. It is a new challenge and something that has me engaged again- something I haven't been in a very long time. It is B2B sales and though I have done business sales in the past my focus has always been on consumer.
Some hard work ahead of me. But I am very excited.

My golf game stinks. And I am sure my alcohol tolerance has declined over the last several years where I haven't drank much at all.

B2B sales are a lot harder without golf and booze. You may actually need to learn your product a bit. 95% of sales are relationships.My golf game stinks. And I am sure my alcohol tolerance has declined over the last several years where I haven't drank much at all.
