still waiting
Apr. 10th, 2015 01:42 pmthough...as said elsejournal, I did get a call from the government explaining that i would get a call from another office of the government to extend me an offer but it would likely take several days because government.
I formally declined the other offer I had last night. They didn't want to consider me for the open director position, and despite talking up how they are spinning off and completing an A-round series of VC funding, they do not intend to have any equity plan in place. They tried to compensate for that by offering a lump-sum payment in a year if no equity plan was in place, but the lump sum was small enough that it seems to signal that there will not be a reasonable equity plan. I am not taking a job with just as much stress as my current one (I was troubleshooting production loadbalancer and database problems during my interview), for less money, no manager in place, and no stock. I put it more kindly than that, and they said to please let them know if anything changes for me. So, I guess if I accidentally ragequit and the govt job falls through I still have a potential backup.
But OMG every day involves active effort to not ragequit. Or even reasoneddiscussionquit. I think I will spend this weekend doing yoga and reading trashy novels. I kind of want to start right now.
