Hey all, a little off topic, but I'm happy and I want to share! For those that were involved in the Seti mini-race, you know that I disappeared for a few days as I moved from Rolla to Minneapolis. I'll be graduating with my PhD in a week and my wife and I moved early since she had a job. Of course, I didn't even have an offer.
Well, long story short, I've interviewed with 2 companies here for senior scientist positions, 3M and Medtronic. I just got a phone call from the manager at Medtronic and they have already decided to make me the job offer, paperwork is in Fedex's hands and should arrive tomorrow!(I was told to expect it to take a couple of weeks and I interviewed on monday)
So, based on hints, the offer should be upper 70s low 80s plus full benifits on day 1. Now the only problem I'll have is that I haven't had a real job in about 8yrs! Not sure how I'm going to handle this. I'm also now going to put the pressure on 3M to make a decision as Medtonic wants my answer by next Friday.
So, I'll finally have my 1st real job just before my 30th birthday! (it is in February) I've been in school the whole time! I've had 4 plant trip interviews in the last year and this is the first hit I've gotten and my first offer so I'm exciting....Anyway, sorry if I'm repeating myself I'm just really excited.
For any interested and still reading, the job is a materials research position. I'll be working on seals for feedthrough wires on pacemakers and related objects. They want to be producing 5-10million of these seals within the next 3yrs and haven't yet decided what glass to use. In large part, that will be my job. To develop the composition and method to get these glass seals into production.
Ok, it's enough already. My wife, daughter and I are going to head out to dinner to celebrate in a few minutes. Just wanted to share!
