I'll tell you though, it was really hard to pass up the kind of money Job #1 was offering. But I know in the end money won't make you happy if you don't love what you are doing.. seemed like an easy decision when I viewed it that way :)

Well guys, I decided to pass on Job #2 for a couple reasons. Mainly I'm not sure the consulting life is for me but more that I need to see where I can go with Job #1. These guys are doing some pretty amazing things and I'd love to be part of it. The only way I'll know if I love/hate Boston is...

Dude is getting married in 3 months, I'm the best man so I'm trying to get a BP set up for him in Vegas. What are the rules for who to invite, what is allowed without getting into too much trouble, cost per person, etc? He has already said no dance clubs (sick of the club scene), but other...

There is definitely a lot more risk and uncertainty with Job #1. Hell I haven't even started interviewing with them yet so I don't even know if they'll offer anything. What do you guys think about accepting Job #2 and bailing if I get Job #1? Bad idea to burn bridges this way right? What if...

So here's the deal.. I'm currently in a 3 month contract software development position and am not enjoying what I'm doing and my boss is a jack@$$ to put it nicely :D.. but I've been planning to leave since the second week I got there and am getting very close to bailing. Anyways, I've been...

so i've been looking for a first home (condo) and my realtor just asked me for a pre-approval letter + banking financial statements that show my liquid assets. The pre-approval letter I understand, but why does the realtor need to know how much in liquid assets I have? Isn't it up to the...

I'm looking for something involving some sort of physical activity. I was signing up at Habitat for Humanity (construction) but the schedules conflict with my work schedule. Anybody have any other ideas?

So my work is willing to pay for the training courses and tests associated with getting my first cert. I'm an application developer (.NET/SQL) and have been doing this for about 3-4 years but have yet to apply for a cert. There seem to be alot of paths that Microsoft provides but it looks like...

i understand how you feel mjuszczak that what your mom does to you can feel often times like nagging or caring too much because my mom does the same. but consider how you would feel if your mother was no longer in your life. it is important to cherish the loved ones in your life because you...

last interview i went on i said i always need to be challenged. this can indicate to the company that you always need to be presented with demanding projects/deadlines to be engaged in the work. do not use with companies that are low pressure, laid back work environments or they might get the...

i know when i was searching for a job unemployed about a year ago i made it a point to still do personal things that i enjoyed doing. don't spend all your time looking for jobs or you'll just end up being depressed when you don't get any bites back and you don't give yourself any opportunity to...

It's her house and I do want to split it with her since it's just me and her using it for now until we get a third roommate. She's an honest girl from everything I've seen so far, so I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but some people can hide their true selves well. However, can...
