The company I work for asked the 6 web architect if one of us would be interested in working 6-9 months at the New York City office to implement our work methods out there.

Should I do it? :confused2:

It's pretty well located

Humm... I'll have to think a lot this week.

What exactly is stopping you?

Sounds like an ideal opportunity to me.

If they are paying you properly,yes..Get tore into it!That's what jobs are about ultimately,for me anyway...

Would this mean the end of NOOL,as we know it Nic?

new york is pretty cool as american citys go, lots of americans, but what would you expect, why the hell not.

Feu vert !!!

Si c'est bien, tu ne le regretteras pas. Si c'est nul, tu n'en as que pour neuf mois... (et neuf mois, presqu'un hiver sous les tropiques pour un Canadien, non ?)

Et puis, le Québec, ce n'est pas loin...

NEW YORK's brilliant! Go for it Nick! You'll never look back.

Go for it. If you don't like it, tell them to stick their job and just go back home.

Simple really.

Start spreading the news :nod:

31 Mar 2008, 16:55

Nic - I just looked at the exchange rates, as I get paid in $US (peanuts)

As the Canadian Dollar is worth roughly the same, why not ask your employer if you can come to work in the UK?

If the Poles, Romanians, Africans, Indians, Greeks, Koreans, Turks, etc. can do it... :shrug:

At least you can speak English. Sort of. :evil4:

i've heard wonderful things about your tour guide! :evil4:

31 Mar 2008, 19:57

If they set you up well, go for it.

31 Mar 2008, 20:44

Nicos...are they going to be paying for you accommodations?

New Yawk ain't exactly a cheap place to live...sooooo...

Hell...Target sent me to some dirt cheap places back in my days with them...and I still made those rat bastards foot the bill...Of course...my assignments weren't nearly as long as yours...

oh well....

if they will foot the bill for where you are living...go for it...otherwise...tell them to piss off...

31 Mar 2008, 21:10

Might be a good place, but shorter would be better... I'd go for 6 months tops.... New Yorkers are the worst Americans... thier rude, self-centered, and alot of mouth but not alot of action to back up thier words... So don't go long enough were the sight-seeing wears off and the people start to grind you down....
