Top Tier Sellsword Looking for advice.

Hello all,

I'm Bronn, and I went to a small college you've probably never heard of. Been working for a Top Tier House (think Lannister/Tyrell/Baratheon) doing acquisitions for about 3 years now. Alas, the hostile takeover world is starting to get to me, however, and I'm looking to switch it up. I was thinking of relocating to Winterfell, but its so bloody cold up there, and I don't think my rheumatoid arthritis can handle it. Plus, all the major players up there are going through massive layoffs, so not sure of who to reach out to. The only place I've heard that is hiring aggressively is over at Castle Black, and I hear the division manager up there is a real Bastard. Trying to go for the low hanging fruit, if you will.

Right now, I feel like my only exit opps are Hedge Knight and Petty Lord, but I'm thinking I'm more of a Landed Knight type. My ultimate goal is to have enough gold to open up a bunch of wheat farms in the south, as I'm taking a bet that winter is coming, and wheat futures are going to SOAR. After all, not like a fucking dragon is going to come burn my land or anything, AMIRITE?

Also, on my resume I put that my horse is a DESTRIER, but its really only a COURSER. Do you think theres a chance that any of the BSD's at these places share my equine hobby? Hoping no one invites me to a ride on the Kingsroad. The guy I currently work for (not naming any names) isn't exactly tall enough for horseback, so I was in the clear. The dude drinks and screws like its his job though.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, m'lords.
