What would you do?

Here's a thought? Do you currently have some vacation with your 'now' job?

Talk to the people you want the job with. Explain to them that want to hear their offer.

If that offer is good, you may want to consider this option-

Take a few days off from your job.

Then tell these new job people that you are interested and want to see how things are at the company. Offer them a 'free trial' for a few days. Tell them you will work for free for a few days to see if the both of you are compatible.
Be up front with them and let them know that you are still employed elsewhere and if you take the new job you want to be able to give a notice at the other place-Never burn a bridge, you never know.

This works with smaller companies. If they are interested, they will make your experience one to consider. Some companies will kill to keep or hire a good employee!

They came looking for you!

I voted to take the job. In these financially turbulent times you have to go with the $$. It's in your best interest. If you find your ??'s are answered favorably, you could go to your current employer and tell them of the offer and if they will match it. The staying home two days a week would be a deal breaker as well...think of all the gas money you'd save!

RICHARD posted exactly what I was thinking. I've known people to do this before. In these cases they just call in "sick" for about a week then end up quitting. It's sneaky, but it's an opportunity to try the other place out first.
