Groomz

Any word on the job you interviewed for?

Re: Groomz

  • I got a call today, in fact.  They asked for my salary requirements.  I told them what I'm currently making and told them where I'd like to be, but was clear that I'd be happy to consider any offer sent my way.  I also told them about the potential adoption.  Not sure if that was the best thing to do, but I want them to know everything before they make a decision.

    My current salary is at the top of their range, and I'd be dropping to next to no vacation time coupled with no FMLA protection if I need it in February, so there's a good chance I'll have to decline an offer if they make one anyway.

  • groomz, are you casually looking or was this something you really wanted?

  • This damn baby is already ruining your life.

    Would they consider giving you more vacation time in lieu of matching your current salary?  Haggle!

  • A little bit of both.  My job is far too much stress for far too much money.  In the past 6 months, I've taken a pay cut and been given a lot more responsibility. 

    When I started sending my resumes, I was seriously looking, but the day I got called for this interview was the same day we found out that we were matched, which makes this a terrible time to go looking for a new job. 

    So now I'm casually looking for something that will work with the flexibility I'll need if/when we first get the baby.

  • I hope they offer you lots of money to sit around here and chat all day, and then lots of time off when your baby arrives. You deserve it.

    That's what I'm talking about.  I barely have time to keep up with my posting in addition to all the other crap my boss wants me to do.

  • I hope something perfect comes along soon Groomz. And I hope you get a boss with realistic expectations who understands your needs, like hanging out on here and playing with your new baby.
  • Finding a job where you can be here more is crucial.  I die a little more inside every day I don't see you post.  I'm mostly dead right now.
