Lots of Jobs!
So today was quite a full day when it comes to job-related stuff. So I got a call around 1:30 today from one of the people that interviewed me when I was in Folsom. Apparently I did well enough that they are going to offer me a job. I'll get the actual paperwork in 3-4 weeks, but he wanted to let me know that I should be expecting it. I was actual quite suprised to hear this since I wasn't sure I did well enough at my interview there.
Then I got home to find an email from Dynetics asking when I would be available for an on-site interview in Huntsville, AL. Then later I got yet another email from NI asking if I was available the weekend of the 9th of December for an on-site interview there. So now I have 2 more on-site interviews confirmed and I should be hearing from Intel in Phoenix about that on-site interview sometime soon too.
Plus I got an email from Liebert today asking for a electronic copy of my resume to forward on to the managers there. Not quite as exciting as the other stuff, but it may lead somewhere too.
So that's all my excitement for the day.
As far as deciding which one I really want, I'm still not sure though. Intel in California definately sounds cool, but it's just so far away and the cost of living is so much higher. I'll have to see the numbers on the offer before I can decide on that one. As for Dynetics, I'd be doing something with simulations or missles or something military related, which I'm not sure if that's what I want to do with my time. As for NI, well they never wanted to talk to me back when I wanted to talk to them, and now all of a sudden they're interested in me. I'm really interested in doing hardware design, but this interview may be for their engineering leadership program (sent out an email for clarification on that one), which is more sales/marketing oriented, but at least I get my foot in the door and can move over to R&D later I guess. But is that better than working for Intel? And do I want to do low-level chip design or simulation or verification or all that other crazy stuff? Ugh so many decisions. There's no clear answer yet....
