Dec. 11th, 2008 11:01 pmYe gods and little fishes, what a day. It was one of those which started busy and just went from there. I don't think there was any significant amount of idle time from nine in the morning until the boys got shooed off to bed around nine-thirty this evening.
Key elements thereof: two pre-noon calls from recruiters, an hour-long interview with a start-up which seems to have somehow gotten funding without having learned the lesson of the first dot-com bubble- their motivation is all well and good, but how they'll make any money out of their business model is beyond me, followed by running home to sift through email quickly to see a request for another call from one of the two of this morning's phone screening tomorrow morning and fielding yet another call from a recruiter, this one for a temp-to-perm business analyst gig with a tentative hourly rate which could represent a $10-15k annual bump in pay just on straight forty hour weeks. The client for this post has a history of acting quickly, too, as per the headhunter, who notes that his last few placements with them have week-and-a-half to two week cycles from presentation to offer. At this point, officially starting right after the holidays would be just ducky- it'd give me a bit of time to unwind and hopefully blow off some of the stress and anxiety-related tsuris. I'll hear from him again tomorrow as well; and, at the pace of the last few days, who knows what else may break loose.
