nolimitholdem,
I am guilty of prejudice. I assumed you were one of the many disenfranchised. Your response indicates otherwise. I apologise!
It is highly unusual on this site to have such a considered response. I appreciate it and more importantly, I hope yknot appreciates it as CX is one of his potential career options.
The best option for everyone depends on nationality, experience, age, etc etc. Bottom line, make the most of whatever you do. Just remember you were happy before this job, you will be happy in this job, and you will be happy after this job!
YKNOT, you now have some relevant, objective viewpoints!
