I just got a job offer!
Last summer I interviewed at a company doing complex physics software...I was one of 3 finalists out of a few hundred applicants but I didn't get the job. They were a totally cool little place too.

They just emailed me asking if I am interested in the position - they're expanding and have a new opening!

This is too bad, since I totally would have taken that job last summer...I like my current company, except for the fact I'm stuck half time working on a missile-defense related project (only for a few more months, then I can move on).

2. Talk to them, at least, before you reject them out of hand
Wouldn't hurt to listen.

3. Why not take the new job since the other one is almost done?
And you're working for republicans. How... disgusting!

I'd take the new gig.

4. I work for Dems
The company president even posted that Jesusland/United States of Canada map up in the lunchroom after the election debacle back in Nov. Lots of liberal Dems around here :-)

Maybe I should check out their salary offer, although it'd have to be really, really worth my while to make me change.

5. Can my 23 year old daughter have it then?
Poor kid got fired from her first job out of college because they lost a federal contract.

6. Sure!
How good is she at computational fluid dynamics, C++, and the theoretical modelling of turbulent fluids?
