"The only time I would consider that is for a short-term project," says Gary Starr, who was CFO of a midmarket consulting firm in the New York area before helping to sell it late last year. In fact, he's currently mulling such a project, one that would involve "a meaty role" and some income but would mean reporting to someone whose job he feels he could easily handle. Taking a lesser title on a permanent basis, however, is out of the question for him at the moment. Says Starr: "It seems like settling."
