stormdogI just talked to the possible new boss for twenty minutes and feel like a complete idiot, as I always do after getting off of the phone. We talked about training and travel and what, more specifically, I'd be doing.
The last thing on my page of notes to ask about was salary. But I didn't. I don't know if I should have or not. I probably should have. Especially when I think the salary might be a deciding factor. But I didn't.
I need to decide by later this week whether I'm seriously interested in this or not. I'm going to be talking to a couple other people on this new team as well to get their impressions of the work and to be interviewed by them.
I'm terribly, terribly nervous about all of this.
I think I may talk to my current manager and explain that, while I really would prefer to avoid the travel if I can, I also want to make some advances in my career path and see if he has a sense of what opportunities are going to be available here and whether we're going to have any additional people any time soon and if staffing would justify me moving to some kind of level two posiition.
I hate, hate dealing with this stuff.
