Ask MM for career advice? I know, silly.

i'm kinda late to chime in on this, but i'd wait the 3 weeks to see the outcome. However, if you're really interested in the sales job, i'd just make sure that doesn't slip out of your hands. If i were you Mike, i'd just make your threats of leaving a real one. Whether it be receiving offers from other companies or the final ties needed to switch you to another position with better pay, more appreciation, and something more aligned with what you would like to do for work.

On the note of travel - 60% is good, but any more and you'll feel the tax on your personal life. A lot of people think it's vacation and that you actually have time to do 'things' outside of work. Usually they're interested in where you're going and think it's cool if you're down near the beach or in a cool city. Unless you have 'slack hours' the only thing you usually see is the office, the hotel, your coworkers, and a restaurant. I personally think it's best suited for the young, single professional who as ADD. I know it's been said before, but travelling on a Sunday sucks - it ruins your weekend. When i'm on a project that's not near the DC area i travel every week and it's usually M-Th, but anything other than those days or for a long amount of time and it really takes a toll on your personal life. It's distanced me from my friends and family, and i can't see myself doing this for more than a year or two. My coworkers do it with families and small children and i don't understand how they can cope with it.
