Pair of Bristol interviews

[luckykaa]

A couple of weeks back, I had an interview in Bristol. Company did fanatic stuff with "haptics" - ultrasound based touch simulation. You could wave your hand over the emitter and feel it. I loved what the company did, and I really felt I was back home visiting Bristol.

I didn't get the job. I was quite disappointed.

I had another interview today. In Aztec West, where I used to work. I apparently did quite well. They want to give me a second interview.

I don't know how I feel about this though. It's not as interesting a company. They do circuitboard design software. I sort of like the idea of Bristol still. Not so sure of this is the job for me. It's not just the job. I can quit if I hate it. But proximity to Flickums is a factor I need to consider. An hour and a bit by train or car is fine. Bristol to Sheffield is at least 3 hours. Makes visiting tougher.

I'm not sure I want to keep contracting. It's nice that I can quit really, but it's taking forever to find something new. But I don't want to do a preemie job unless it's something I love.

There had to be an ideal job. No idea what that is.

Dude, you do know that you're allowed to quit permanent jobs, right? And at short notice for long enough to decide if you like it or not?

If that was my only consideration I'd go for it. Bristol is awesome. And I don't care for Leicester at all.

But I also have a flickums to worry about. She's less than an hour and a half drive away. This makes the relationship pretty easy. If there's a 3-4 hour journey to see each other I'm not sure it would work out.

I'd be willing to take the risk if it was a job I knew I'd love. If I might hate it then I'd be screwing everything up.
