Job searching sucks
Okay, so I'm on the job hunt, and I've been hitting some really hard decisions and some hard situations that have me all stressed out.
Last month I interviewed for a position at Webshots, and they gave me an offer. It was a pretty generous offer, and though they came as far as they could to meet my numbers, it was less pay for a job in Redwood City, meaning all my free time would vaporize. I passed. Second, I just got an offer for a position at O'Reilly in Sebastopol, which rocks, and O'Reilly, which rocks, but the position is a substantial pay decrease from my current salary ($20k). If I take this position, it means we'll undergo a very strong change in our lifestyle (if we can do it at all). Julie has a job possibility that was supposed to get back to her this week, but didn't, even after a 'prod' to voicemail, which could be either good or bad or whatever. If she gets tht position, it would allow me to say yes to O'Reilly, which I really really dig, but if they don't give her the position, it makes it really hard for me to go for it. Just this last thursday I interviewed for a senior engineer position at a place in Larkspur (like 5 mins from my house) for really good money, but it'd be a stretch for me and I'm not sure I interviewed well enough to sell my strengths, so I'm not sure if even that's a possiblity. All with the backdrop of July 1st being new contracts time, and I'm certain there's not enough money in the budget to go around to keep us all. Argh...
