I mentioned last week I have been interviewing for three jobs. I got a call today at 4:30 with an offer!!! It was very unexpected because for this one I have only had one interview. My company usually has two rounds, so when she called I assumed it would be to set up second rounds. I am thrilled cause my manger is crazy cakes and I need to get away from the toxic work environment. I have wanted to quit so many times and SAH, I hope a new job will make me be able to think more clearly about if I should SAH or work.
The offer was a lateral move with a 9.1% raise, I countered and asked for $5K more. I have never really countered before and it was awkward, but I feel good about it. Fingers crossed I get the amount I want, but I will take it either way (it is my favorite of the three).
Yay for getting away from the crazy!
UPDATE - The hiring manager called and gave me the extra $5K!!!!!!!!!!! Man, I am on cloud nine right now :-). Thank you for all of the congratulations.
LOL. It will be interesting to hear her unprofessional reaction when I tell her. Although she hates me, I do a lot of work for her. She will be pissed.
