[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 190287, member: 820"] My advice would be for her to be [i]very[/i] sure she wants to walk away from a fulltime orchestra gig before doing so. If she is, she should take a leave of absence or sabbatacal to have the option open during transition. Symphony jobs are extremely hard to get and the jobs that are still out there are disappearing rapidly. I'm sure she's aware of this. In '98 I resigned (not leave of absence) from an orchestra up in the US and in retrospect, I would not do the same today. It becomes easy to forget how lucky you are to have a job like that when you do it every day. When it's gone the reality hits you in the face. Something like 1% of people who study music at the college level will end up making their living in a fulltime orchestra. [/QUOTE]
