I hate to say it, but that is one of the worst analogies I have heard in my life. If you were living in your hometown and working around all of your friends in lets use Atlanta for this example and bellsouth paid you roughly 17 million a year, but you could move to microsoft and get slightly LESS money to work a better job in a different city. That is unbelievably stupid. No one would move to Microsoft in a different city that is not where you grew up in and for LESS money just to have a higher title on the corporate ladder. You may gain slightly more recognition for working at Microsoft, but come on this whole analogy is ignorant.
