Interviews

This semester I've had the most travel of my entire life. I had 3 out-of-town interviews: Seattle, Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St.Paul) and Charleston. Almost every weekend I went out of state, and stayed in different hotels. I learned something about interviews: the more interviews you go through, the more you prepare for the next one, and the more you know about your self. Every time you have to explain to them about yourself, your skills, and answer technical and non-technical questions, you learn how to solve and divide and conquer your problem. Even though I was tired through all these interviews, I am really grateful that I had lots of them. I did not pass some of the first interviews but sometimes I made it to the second interview.

At the end I had two offers that I debated for soo long liked so much because of the environments and also (hehe) the $$$. But one offered much higher $$$ than the other one and I saw that my career would grow faster. I liked the starting date they offered, it made me be able to stay here in Atlanta with Russian for awhile and we could then move to the new city together. I am afraid going to a new place alone ... thinking of living there alone and knowing no one except people at my work. But now no more, because Russian will move to the same city after I move. I felt lucky for having everything - a new job, new city and a really nice boyfriend : )
