ok.. once again, it’s time to worry about my future. ::sigh:: the market is currently shitty as hell. i am interviewing with one company in seattle (the company of trouble making companies). i can’t guarantee that i will get a job there but the probability is high. they wanted to hire me two years ago and i am applying for similar jobs with more education and knowledge so i would say that looks good. i haven’t bothered to interview with other companies. ideally, i would like to go to grad school for my PhD but i don’t know where or with whom i want to work so applying seems awefully silly. plus, i need to take the GREs now and i am not ready for that. and i can’t afford to do grad school without a stipend and that’s not ready, particularly since i don’t know what i want to do. so i think that getting a job makes a hell of a lot of sense. now, i would really like to live in San Francisco and hope to get a job there. but reality says that i want a stable job, a liveable income (that will even let me take a dent into my debt), health insurance and a reasonable job. i can probably get all of that in Seattle, but i don’t know about SF. if i pursue the job in Seattle, i will have two weeks post offer to accept or deny it. i don’t know what exists in SF and i am afraid to look right now because of the market. so then the question becomes…<\/p>\n
do i try to go for the job in Seattle or do i hold off on it and pray that i will find something in SF?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
