    Apok, the best thing you can do for yourself right now, is tuneup that resume. This will get you thinking about your positive attributes and contributions at your present place of employment. It sounds to me like you already have one foot out the door. There is a job/position out there waiting for you.

    Since post number 15 talks about redistribution of wealth this thread should be moved to "politics and other messy stuff". It might open up the conversation a bit.

    Sadly, finance. The most boring job in the world.

    The resume is ready to go. I always keep it up to date and ready just incase an opportunity arises.

    Also would be helpful to understand what your background is in and if you have any restrictions around where in C-bus you would want to work (some people don't want to work downtown or on a particular side of town).

    Keeping your resume up to date is a good idea, but don't wait on an opportunity to arise. Wear out some shoe leather looking for one.
