One of the positions I’d been looking at elsewhere in this jungle won’t be happening. It pays slightly more, but has no benefits. Not that I’ve been to a doctor or dentist in the last eight months, but having the ability is something important. I’m not about to work 10 months without any form of medical benefits or some kind of IRA/401k.
I’ve heard from at least one of my references for the Seattle job who has been contacted. I’m starting to lean heavily toward taking the job if I’m offered it. The opportunity and the money both make sense.
