Job offer!

I got a job offer today and it’s a good one! The work is interesting, I like the people I’d be working with, and the company seems to be truly supportive of its employees.

The only reason I didn’t jump right on it today and accept it is that there are three other interesting opportunities that I’m also pursuing, some of which still have interviews pending. Each offers something unique from the others. Each has its advantages. The two I’ve interviewed with so far seem to be very interested in what I can do, and I expect a good talk tomorrow with the third firm.

From what I can tell these are all very high-caliber jobs. I’m very fortunate to have these options. Now I’m in a dilemma because of the very tough decision I may soon have to make should I get more than one offer. It will be hard to turn any of these down, but there will be one winner and three also-rans very soon.

I’m going to spend this long, three-day weekend pondering my options and trying to figure out in which direction I want to go. At least by next week I’ll be on my way.
