I love thinking about aerospace and defense topics. I'm a pretty good manager. I think if the operational job was in an aerospace company I'd have said yes, but it's not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have experience managing people and departments? Most people hate it, few are good at it. In big businesses in which I am familiar, if you aren't an Executive Director or VP by 35-40, you never will be. I do. I'm a pretty good manager. But in the business I'm in right now, a big team is 6 people. So it's a different set of management skills than leading a P&L with hundreds of folks reporting to you. Every exit I've looked at is a VP exit (2 levels down from CEO); I'm 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devildog2067 Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I sent the email closing the door on Option 2 on Monday and told my firm I'm committed to staying in the new role assuming we can get details worked out. Then yesterday the phone rang, and I've been asked to interview for my literal dream job. Not sure how realistic of a shot I have, but we'll see how it goes. Life is funny sometimes.

Don't listen to Mr. Slide-rule. Stealthy space stuff needs to hide under Antarctica, so I say point things down, and they'll pop out into space where nobody will think to look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
