i got an offer
September 02, 2005 - 5:43 pm

interview was thursday. was told i'd hear back tues/wed next week.

it seems i did well enough in the interview there was little to discuss and mull over. i've been offered the job. i've been offere 1,000 more than i was told the highest possible starting salary could be. this is 6,000 more than i make now.

well. possibly a net loss since i make a commission now and over a full year.. it would be about a 4,000 loss. in base/garantueed pai, it's 6,000 more.

is that differnce worth the peace of mind and not working where i am now?

how truly miserable am i there.. and how much better could it be at the new place? what if i don't like the new place? what if i decide really do want to do the phd thing? is it cool to jet from there in a year?

so many things to think about.

first impression -- i will say yes.

it seems to take all the shit i hate about what i do now.. and remove it while keeping things i don't mind or like.

i'm worried though.. it seems like it could be a very repetitive job. repetitive things grate on my nerves.

however, repetitive jobs can lead to nonrepetitive jobs.

i digress.

i like to say i digress. i don't know why.

i need (and will) call my boss this weekend to see if he wants to hang out.. tell him i have stuff to talk about.

he might kill me.

hey. it's possible. on the plus side, i'd not have to decide anything. though i'd feel bad since no one would call the job offerer people.

how to decide this?

i really do want this to be one of the last company changes i do.

i'm tired of job hopping.
