so i definitely didn’t get the job i interviewed for.
that being said, i met some great people, and had some really good ego stroking in regards to what i did bring to the table. the guy i interviewed with is going to kick me to another manager for an open position within the organization.
basically, it came down to my management experience – not that i didn’t have enough of it, just more that my 9-5 experience is not deep enough in terms of pace and complexity for the role i was interviewing for. i was definitely reassured that i was a great fit both technically and personality-wise.
we’ll see what happens with second string possibilities. i’m not going to jump unless it looks like what i want to do, particularly if it is going to move me back out of management.
coincidentally, when i came back to the office, i ran into the guy i interviewed with here for an IT position several weeks ago. he assured me he still hadnt heard anything, and was waiting back to hear. i think that means that they are negotiating bids with people from the outside. meh.
hell, i still have a good job at a top-notch institution. no bitter tears here.
props to
