Job Prospectus

by Shawn Stratton on September 13th, 2008

So recently I’ve been list­ing and inter­view­ing again; the com­pany I’m with has put on a freeze on new hires, and since my con­tract expired I just don’t feel so safe.  There have been many calls lately, many of them instantly dis­qual­i­fied (“you want me to move where?”) or ask­ing me to be a front end UI designer (I’m a pro­gram­mer not a designer,) but I’ve got­ten some inter­est­ing emails/phone calls that I’m def­i­nitely keep­ing up with.  Here are the top 3 poten­tials that I’ve been in touch with:

 

  • Yahoo! (in Atlanta)
  • iCon­tact (in Raleigh)
  • MySQL (Telecom­mute)
Therein lies the prob­lem, I love all three com­pa­nies, I almost feel like I’m cheat­ing on the oth­ers when I talk to any one of them.  Yahoo! has a great prod­uct that I’ve used for sev­eral years and I respect them greatly, same with MySQL, and then there’s iCon­tact who has a great staff, great atti­tude, and is in an area I’m already com­fort­able and famil­iar with. There is one other prob­lem here though; I live in Atlanta at the moment, I have a lease and my sig­nif­i­cant other has a job here; How do I resolve that?  I would love to move back to Raleigh, the area is relaxed, my son would be safer than here in Atlanta, and the cost of liv­ing is greatly decreased, but I would also take my “fam­ily” far away from the rest of our family.
