I am looking at quality of life compared to possibly a better outfit to work for since like most people I am hoping to get a job with a major if/when they start hiring. As it sits now, I do not have the recency (maybe 150 hours) in the last 3 years to have a competitive shot at a major if they were hiring today, so hoping I can build that plus have some 121 background when the majors do start hiring.
