No, I already have another offer incoming. This one is for the other job that I really want. The first offer is what is take if nothing else panned out. In war hammer terms, it's my reserve gig.

Wait!

Either way - best of luck, and I hope you get the job you want with the pay/benefits you want too!

Well..I got an offer! Not quite as high as I would have liked (but what is?) but I made $4000 more/year just by being silent a moment after their initial figure. So..yeah...I got the job! I may have been able to hold out for more, but I didn't. I shook hands

Thanks a lot guys. NO TIES! Thankfully. Although I will probably need more Business Casual pants. I prefer cargo pants with pockets, maybe that will be ok.

Well cargo pants definitely allow you to smuggle in more modeling supplies to use everyday , but I guess you should play it nice fo a while at least.

No worries there unless the guy is super space marine fanboi that hates Legos and believes video games lead to violent behavior, in that case I wouldn't get your desk all nice and comfy.

Thanks guys! I don't think anyone there has ever heard of Space Marines, so I'm sure it'll be fine

Technically, this job didn't exist before, so yes, I am fortunate indeed!
