So remember the post about my boss setting me up?
I was right.
We spoke yesterday at length...and while we cannot guarantee our company won't get acquired at the end of this summer (we truly think it could happen by our largest customer), his plans for me are starting now.
Long story short, he said the following:
-No matter what happens, where he goes (if we get acquired, lose our jobs, etc etc down the road): He's taking me with him. Sincerely.
-He is basically grooming me for a big position. Originally it was going to be a senior position...But he has higher hopes for me. He wants me to basically shadow him and be brought to the table for many customer/potential customer visits/calls (although travel may be an issue, he understands that and is OK with it); wants the organization to know if he is unavailable, to come to me. Etc.
So what position is this? It's a fricking Director of Product Management position. The salary MEDIAN is double of what I make now; now obviously, as starting out, I would NOT make that...but it's pretty much guaranteed I would be making 20-30% more; which is ridiculous (in a good great way...).
I am not ready for this, yet. That's why he wants to start me as a ...although it sounds trite, there was no other real way to phrase it-- kind of a protege. Makes sense to me.
So obviously it will be more work (e.g more meetings, more stuff to do). I explained this is OK to me, because I feel like the stuff I am doing now I can do quicker, and more effectively, so I'm ready for something new. One of the main goals for him ( and me) is to build my confidence...so that if he is not around, I feel confident I am making the right decisions.
Pretty nifty, huh? I mean...wouldn't it be cool if this happened right before maternity leave or right after? Um...Yeah. So here's hoping 2011 is an even better year...
