Decision

Tomorrow I call them and arrange to come out to their offices on Friday. Assuming they offer me the job, I will

  • ask for a salary in the low to mid eighties, negotiable down to high seventies
  • if salary is negotiated, ask for four to six weeks unpaid leave each year; otherwise, ask for two weeks unpaid leave
  • insist on travel in the roughly fifty percent per month range
  • ask for a week at home between each week away, negotiable if the distance is far

...and may the force be with me.

  1. I hope you come out on the better than you thought side. Good luck!

  2. Thank you both. I've heard it said that the only ones who welcome change are a wet baby or an incontinent adult, and I've begun to think there's something to that. Seems like change is never an unalloyed joy!
