PowerPoint by Day, Lobster by Night


My new job is going well so far, although it's mostly been training.  I spent my first week in Boston (well, technically Waltham) at SE Bootcamp, and then I had a week at home, and last week I was here in Boston again for Sales New Hire Training, so there are people here from around the world.  It's been fun to get to know some of my new coworkers, even though I won't deal with most of them on a daily basis, as many are in different departments or countries.  Here we are at the Red House enjoying exactly what we should be enjoying: lobster.

The Interview

I've been with my company for a long time, and I've been in such a good situation that I've never really considered leaving.  But recently a recruiter contacted me about a potential new opportunity.  I was intrigued enough to listen to what he had to say, and I ended up doing a couple phone interviews.  I still liked what I heard, and I guess they did too, because they invited me to fly to Boston to do a round of in-person interviews.  So I flew here yesterday, and I had three interviews this morning, and they made me an offer on the spot.  Until today, this didn't seem real, and I wasn't sure I even wanted the job, but after meeting with them, I think this might actually be something I would do.  I'm going to pray about it and think about it and talk it over with Meghan tonight when I get home.  They want an answer tomorrow night.  There's a lot to think about, as there are a lot of implications, and this is a pretty big decision that will affect a lot of things.
