    I posted here a few months ago looking for some advice, opinion & abuse on what steps I should take on my career. Got some sage advice as always. Thanks Internet Friends™. My decision was torn between whether to stay in a really comfortable agency role where I've been for 10+ years or move on to somewhere new which would involve more travel. A tricky decision with kids in your life.

    I sent out some cv's had a few skype interviews for different roles and got a final round call back for one role that seemed like a good fit. I didn't expect much as I hadn't done an interview in 10+ years - I thought I'd go through the process to gain some experience and see how it went. The final round interview involved a small project and presentation.... and I got offered the job!

    A little more travel needed now, but starting on almost double my current salary and will have the option to work remote 1-2 days per week so it should balance out nicely.

    After months of agonising over so many options and decisions, it all seems to have fallen into place nicely. Signing contracts for the new role tomorrow!

    Thanks as ever for the advice you beautiful people. xxx
