Oops, I did it again.....

Abt 4 weeks ago, I got a call from a person who left a message on my voice mail saying that he runs an "executive search company" and has heard my name in the market place and was keen to meet me over a drink. Well, being a curious person by nature, and more importantly, one who never turns down an offer of a free drink, I agreed to meet him.

When I met him, he told me that he was looking to fill up a position in a company and he has heard abt me and he wants to explore this opportunity with me. Having heard the position I burst out laughing, and told him that he has the wrong person, as I am far too junior for the position he was talking abt. However we kept talking and after sometime I got the feeling that he was serious, and I was being subtly interviewed. Anyways, thanked him for the drink, came back home and forgot all abt it. After abt 4 days he called me again and told me that the company he was talking abt has liked my profile and would like to meet me.

Well, one thing led to another and I gave a series of 3 interviews over the course of next 3 weeks.

Yesterday, much to my surprise, they offered me the position, which after careful consideration, I have accepted.

I will now be the GLOBAL head of <a huge dept> technology for a major international bank. In this role I will be 4 down from the board of this bank and the youngest global head in the company. They have offered me a salary hike of 50% plus other sops to help me make my mind up

While I am delirious with pleasure, I am also a bit scared. I have a fear of heights, not only I am getting an office on the 15th floor but also for being so high up in the organization (Global head ?? Moi ?? )

Wish me luck. I will need all the moral support I can get.

Twice in an year - the gods must be smiling on me, why I have no idea.

Applications for a live in bf should be sent to my email id.

p.s. Sorry, this post is not very witty - but my mind is in a bit of a turmoil right now.
