Interview day in a big way. Three half-hour blocks devoted to discussing the future, short and long term. It's impossible to convey much in that amount of time, especially if the questions are scripted by corporate HR, but I stood in and answered questions, recovered from those that didn't get the response I wanted and parked a couple. I'm left feeling that last night's meet and greet might have been a better thing than I realized and that the resume really is the most important document in your life. No real reasonable guess about how this will all shake out, but to some extent the pressure is off because I'm guaranteed one of these positions. Right now there is a clear favorite and three other projects and one that I am, admittedly, chasing for not all the right reasons. Evaluating career trajectory based on a vector that is 30 minutes long is impossible so making decisions tangentional to the future track of things is inevitable.
