LOL! Nah, my consulting services isn't that expensive. $24,999 usually, but I'll do $24,998 for ATOT. ATOT special, get it while it's hot!

I've been to a bunch of interviews this past year and feel very comfortable at it. As some of you know, I have received several offers, but not a lot of them interested me long-term. I have an interview tomorrow, however, that I am definitely interested in. I founded an internet start-up company some time ago that was very successful, and got this e-mail from a friend of mine who referred me to this position. How would you tackle this?

I interviewed with nine separate people and bascially when I got to the third person it was the same questions and the same answers. There are no curveballs, I did talk to the recruiter today and told him about you. His biggest concern was if you were going to remain loyal with the company after being an entrepreneur and I told him that you called me a couple of weeks ago asking about [company name] and seemed to have developed a desire to work for a big corporate company and he liked that...but just be on the lookout for that question. Definitely suit up and give me a call at (xxx) xxx-xxxx after your interview to let me know how it went. If you have anymore questions let me know. Best of luck and you owe me dinner. Talk with you soon.

EDIT 3/4 12:16AM: I talked to the recruiter the day after the interview (today). He stated they were very impressed with me and will extend an offer out this upcoming Monday. He further stated that I would be very happy with the offer and not to interview with anyone else, haha.

UPDATE 3/18: Well, the offer has changed. The hiring manager thought it would not be challenging enough given my credentials and personality.

Since then, I have interviewed for two other finance positions within the company. The first one I interviewed with three people. All have excellent evaluations, but again, said I needed more of a challenge. They talked amongst themselves and other department heads to see how to best position me in the company.

In the end, they opened up an entirely new finance position in their Missile Defense Center for me. I interviewed with a few more people, and got the job yesterday. The offer letter came today.

Great salary, great benefits and fantantic advancement opportunities. Took 10 months since graduation (May '05) and multiple job offers before deciding this was the right position.

what happened to your $50k/month ebay business?

edit:
you're ebay business on auto-pilot? HOW?

$50k a month was back about 2 years ago, it's an old frontcover news article. And now that you've mentioned it, back then, the $50k wasn't entirely on eBay itself.

As to how, well... think creatively😉

Eleventy billion dollars! (standard ATOT answer) 🙂

I'll be more specific when I get into the swing of things there.
