well, it looks like i'm going to be a michigander. okay, i can't believe i just typed that. my head is spinning. i know that all five of you that read this blog have been waiting in anticipation of the verdict.
the visit went well, and i enjoyed the city of grand rapids. it has midwestern charm. not that i actually know what that is. i experienced more hospitality and explored the town a bit, and had a cheddar dog at yesterdog. (picture forthcoming, nate and dave)
the company itself is small, family run and independent. which has its advantages and disadvantages. but overall, i was excited about the job.
i am in salary negotiations. what the heck? i don't really know what i'm doing. other than make them make the first offer. so i guess once that's all straightened out (if anyone has any advice about this stuff that would be great. i've ben looking up cost of living stuff and all that and it only makes a little bit of sense to me. say, lower cost of living there = lower salary. i'm trying to understand if i can live off the salary i will most likely be offered. this stuff really makes me feel nauseated.)

yippy, high 5 to you!
okay, salary advice... try to get 60K, a company car, 6 weeks vancouver vacation time, and a two hour lunch.
Congrats!!! Wow. Very exciting. Good luck with the negotiations...I concur about the Vancouver vacations. :)
good work Auds. definitely in your cheering squad.
HO-LY CRAP!! Congratulations. Wow, I can't believe it. I am so happy and excited for you. You are going to do great. Make sure you get what you deserve as far as salary and don't be afraid to ask for a little more than what they offer. That is part of negotiation. And DRay is right, you have a Masters Degree for goodness sake. Good luck and I can't wait to hear more. Can I come visit?!
