a friend of mine works in etb presently, however he got an offer from first inland bank for a higher grade but is contemplating foregoing espeacially since ETB will so go for its IPO and things may just get better

Let ur friend talk to God, HE alone knows whats best for anyone.Let s/he meet/see her Pastor for prayer and or direction.The best answer will come from there.Remember also that all that glitters may not necessarily be bronze let alone silver!
