Ditto to that-
I started in my late 30's, been here over 10 years. Looks like I'm stuck, unless the flow-through actually happens, and a merger does'nt blow it up.
All written above is true. Lots of time away, missed holidays, executive mgmt. that will cut your throat.
And it is hard to maintain a positive attitude when you see all the incompetence and missed opportunity.
Still better than a real job, though, and I've had too many of those.
If your spouse is an angel, and makes a decent living, you'll be happy.
By the way, upgrades are going VERY junior now, so you may be an fo for less than 2 years. Some are being awarded before end on one year! But don't take it until you are off probation...
