Well, this is the HR person who offered to talk me up to HR folks from other companies owned by the same parent corp. We spoke very frankly about the salary issue, and my concerns about being offered a job at lower than was livable and having to take it to keep from losing my unemployment benefits. This prompted the the discussion of the other positions in the pipeline, and she repeated the bit about pitching me to the other companies in the group.
As for decision making, well, as I replied to Ord11 in the new thread he started, I should hear from the local company several days before I hear back from this one. And quite frankly, if they offer me a spot, I'll take it, no hesitation. And based on our conversation, I think that the NYC HR person would not offer me the spot if they couldn't do $75K, so as not to mess with my unemployment. So that may solve itself.
