Quote:All that said, getting a callback is by no means a bad thing! I would simply advise that you keep in mind that HR does *not* have your best interests in mind, but rather, is dedicated to the company's bottom line. (Or, even more cynically, to making sure their own positions are rock-solid, which usually is the same thing but has a very different 'feel' to it.)Thanks for the advice, Spud. I do have to admit that I'm a little less likely to jump at this position than I was this time last week -- the opening at the local company will definitely give me at least as much as I was making at Best, and I won't have to pay train fare for the commute. That's assuming I read the interviewer right and I am coming back for a second interview. If I were to get offers from both at about the same time, I would take the local company immediately. So assuming I hear what I expect to hear on Friday-ish from the local place, I can go into the NYC company relaxed and with some confidence and not worrying that it's my only option. Especially since no one at the NYC place has yet to promise me anything close to what I was making at Best, instead only making vague suggestions.
