They offered exactly what I wanted (17k more than my last gig, great benefits, and a relocation bonus if I move to Austin (not required). So, I'm taking the offer as is. They want me to start 11/24 -- right before Thanksgiving so I get paid for the holiday. How nice! And, I'll have health insurance before the end of the year.
It all looks great so I'm signing for sure. But, not before I interview with a competitor today. They reached out yesterday out of the blue, they know I have an offer, and rushed an interview for this afternoon. Let's see how this goes!
