Triumph!

I’ll write much more tomorrow. But all the interviews went really well. The final bigwig, who’d watched my talk, spent about 15 of the 30 minutes scheduled for our interview telling me how awesome I am and what a great talk I gave before asking me a single question.

I was told it’ll be about 2-3 weeks before they make a formal decision. But more than one person asked when I could start (mid to late February, I told them.), and the final wrap up interview included a discussion of money which would represent a substantial raise. Though all of that, I’m sure, would be eaten up in higher living costs.

All in all, I feel like everything went absurdly well, and I will be both surprised and disappointed if I don’t get an offer. PECMC is beyond gorgeous. The people were bright and engaged. They care about what I do and have a backlog of work that I could begin on immediately.

I want this really badly. And I think, hope, I’m going to get it.
