Freak on The leash said, things are on the up but not full steam.
Check your PM though
As for dumping an existing job for a girlfriend, I have done it,been there and got the T-shirt (actually not anymore she took it back
). Jobs are always scarce even during good time (varies with experience of course) so remember how tough it has been for you to land that job. Ain't much easier with a 1000 hours I am afraid.
Good Luck !
