I spoke to a recruiter this morning and there is a formal offer being drafted.  There are a few things giving me pause about this opportunity but in the end I think it could work as either a stepping stone or as a long term opportunity.  The hour commute each way is a mild inconvenience but the thing that concerns me the most is they are either in the midst of, or the beginnings of a change of business plan from a parts manufacturer to a product manufacturer.  I know their competitors in the area have transitioned already to similar markets, as far as I know-they didn't go into detail with me.

At 44 I still have at least 25 years in the workforce, if I don't venture out on my own-which this may aid me in doing through the experience I could gain. 

Right now, I just want to finish my AR build and send some rounds downrange.   8)

I've checked Crimson Trace-nothing manager/supervisor wise, same with Benchmade. 

I can't think of any others but over the last two months I have applied at everyone I could think of along the way.

Well I received a formal offer for a Project Manager at Apex Industries and accepted it this afternoon.  I'm not certain of the start date but I am looking forward to a new job, career field and the opportunities that will follow.  Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and support.  I missed this place and I am glad to be back  ;D

Congratulations and good luck Magoo!  Apex seems like a sharp bunch, so it seems like a great move.

Remember Squibby ?
If I recall correctly she was involved in starting Apex, if this is the same Apex MB was praising in the podcast.

Congrats Magoo!  Wish you the best in the new venture.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

This is a different Apex. Plastics manufacturer for the semi-conductor industry. I was listening to MB's Apex interview. I WISH it was that Apex. But I'm excited to get this job. Thanks!
