I've been offered the opportunity to go to our cooperate headquarters in Minnesota to train to become an area director for the corporation I work with.
Right now I make $60k a year. And I'm generally happy with what I do. The area director position is like 85k a year.
The issue is, I don't think I have the money to live in Minnesota for 3 months. I'd be moving back to the KC area after I finish, and I'd want to keep the place I have in KC.
I agree that they should and probably would. I imagine they'd set you up in some extended stay place plus a food per diem. It might not be super extravagant but they're not going to make you pay double rent to train you, that's bad corporate policy that nobody would take.
Like a company can easily allocate funds for this sort of thing and at the end of the day it's what like ten grand tops over a three month period? If you work for a company that can't afford that what makes them think an employee can? [Reply]
They probably would be giving you something to help but even if they don’t you have to take it. It’s a few months of maybe squeezing money or even taking a loan but it’s for a huge raise, almost 50% for you, and comes with a nice title to bolster the resume. It’s possible they feel this way and could use this justify no stipend. Should that be the case I’d say you have to accept that and do it anyways. [Reply]

The jump from 60 to 85 is substantial as well.
Great post, and really, it's all you need to know. The opportunity to advance yourself from $60K-->$85K is big, and it's a career changing move. [Reply]
They're covering my rent for the location I'll living at in Minnesota, my rent in St. Joe. Plus I have a food/living expenses/entertainment budget as well. On top my regular salary while training. :-)
They basically said whatever I needed/wanted, they would provide. [Reply]

Life is good! If they're paying for your gas. Take a truck and fill the bed with 5 gallon gas containers. [Reply]

Tell them you want a real challenge not a manufactured ine. That line of logic found me in the UK eating baked beans for breakfast. Blood pudding too if i wanted it, but I didnt want it (its literally animal blood congealed with corn mash) [Reply]

Here’s a challenge for you: try not to be such a shitty poster. [Reply]
