Those rent prices are very much the same here. But luckily I set us up for a nice morgage with nice rates (below what you pay for a studio or home share)
I get the frustration of a delayed response on a dream role followed by disappointing news. I had that 2 weeks ago. The dream role went to the other person they were considering. Disappointing but at this stage of my career not surprising and not as big of deal as it would have been much earlier in my career.
Two Mondays ago my phone rang. It was an internal recruiter from a pre IPO company looking for a Sr. manager. Sure, I'll talk. An hour screening interview with the recruiter. They scheduled a Teams interview with the Director for the next day. Scheduled for an hour. Tuesday AM the Teams interview started. 15minutes in and the Director asked if I could be on site the next day. Yep, I sure can. End of teams interview 45mins early. I headed to the site the next afternoon (Wednesday) and met with the COO, CFO, and peers to the role they were discussing with me. What was supposed to be 2hrs on site turned into 6 hrs. They told me they would give me a call on Friday. Friday, the internal recruiter I spoke with on Monday called and made me a verbal offer. I accepted. They told me to be on side on Monday and send the signed offer back by Sunday. They also said that due to the accelerated onboarding that things would be very disjoined for my first two weeks.
So here I am. Monday of week 2. Now to get the three year vesting scheudle on my pre-IPO stock grant and .... through a successful IPO.
Sometimes, the dream role does not happen for a reason.
Grand news, dear lady! I'd like to think that all of our positive vibes had some effect on the employer's decision! It's also great that your daughter has decided to stay with you for awhile; until you heal from your 'splitting up' trauma, it'll be nice to have her company.
