Re: Yeah.

I think you should try for it. Otherwise you'll be kicking yourself and wondering "what if" forever and a day.

Plus, your current employers don't have to know about the interview, do they?

These things always come annoyingly in clusters. I was interviewed for two jobs at the same uni once, and was immediately offered the lower-paying (and generally less desirable) one first. I decided to be completely honest and asked them to wait a day or two until I heard the outcome of the other interview, and they kindly agreed. My request was cheeky, for sure; but I explained (honestly) that because hubs was going to school, the difference in salary was something I couldn't afford to ignore. Luckily I was duly offered the higher-paying job, but I've always been grateful to the people in the first department for being so decent about it, and being willing to wait a couple of days before I gave them my response.

Not that this is analogous really, but just to say... I do really appreciate your dilemma!
