I might stay with Cisco

I already got used to the idea of not working anymore for a while after moving to Belgium.
I actually started to like it - I was making plans of what new adventure I could dive in.
I was going to take photography lessons and set up a little studio at home.
Most importantly though - I would be able to spend the entire summer home with the kids.

Not so...

My manager approached me and offered me the opportunity to stay in his team and report to him from Belgium.

Hmm.. sounds tempting, for sure the money-part of it.

I have some doubts though..

How is that gonna work with PTO since they want me to take up all my PTO and even borrow 2 weeks of PTO just to bridge June and July. Does that leave me with no PTO for the rest of the year (since in Belgium you don't accrue PTO on a daily basis).

Also - what am I going to do with the kids in August??

And the salary of course. It will get adjusted to the "cheaper" Belgium .. what cheaper ???

We are still working on the details so we'll see what happens...
