5/1 update: 3 rounds of interviews - wtf is going to happen in the 3rd round?

[PenguinPower]

I got a face to face meeting with VP of HR in 20 minutes.

We're evil. :twisted:

Good luck. Hope it goes your way.

 

[Hugo Drax]

Thats the problem with corporate America. They do not blink twice to give a mediocre CEO a 25 million dollar bonus. But will try a Nickle and dime a valued employee over a few thousand bucks.

 

[KeithTalent]

Damn, good luck man. Hope you get the number you're shooting for.

5/3 update in OP

just sold my soul to the devil.

Now they own you.

At least you got a figure you want and work at a place that wants you. If nothing else you can subsist on that for a while until a higher position opens up or you've have had enough of the place.

So, most importantly, what's for dinner to celebrate? :awe:

did you consider future monetary growth potential?

your now supervisor role in finance likely has a much higher ceiling than your past IT role

Probably taking the wifey out to sushi, but we'll see; up to her. Been working crazy hours and haven't had a chance to take her out.

Yes I did, I actually consider IT to have higher monetary potential, but it's a lot easier to get management experience in Finance which will put me in a better position to jump back into IT (imo), esp. since my new role supervises onshore/offshore resources.

Congrats! Glad it worked out.

Thanks! Once again really appreciate your insight. This whole experience has been eye-opening.

Corporate politics, I (somewhat) get it now.

If you were happy with the final terms then good for you, but sounds like you might just take the next best opportunity.

I will take the next best opportunity, in 2-3 years when this next project is over.

Whether that "next best" is within the same company or another company, we'll see when we get there
