Thanks for the support everyone!! In case you're wondering WTF? - I made a post a few weeks ago about being laid off. I had been interviewing before the layoff, and the offer came through.
Since this is a really public forum, I'll reveal as much as I can. (Merrill Lynch laid me off so I don't care if I mention them here.) My new company is symbolized with a c. I'll be a financial planner in their private bank in midtown Manhattan. I'm a CFP by profession so this is an opportunity of the decade for me.
Better than even odds that we'll be moving before labor day.
Thanks again for letting me share, and thanks again for all the kind words!!
