Kinda Wish I Was in Austin...
-
Austin is wonderful. Don't hold yourself back, give it a try! What do you have to lose?
-
Interviewing is not a commitment. You can see how it goes and make a decision if you get an offer. Maybe you will interview and find that it is not even a job that you are interested in.
-
@scottalanmiller , I doubt it's a six-figure job.
-
I would interview, but to interview I'd have to drive 3 hours each way for a job I'm in no position to take.
-
Sleep in your car until you get that first paycheck. You will be alot better off in the longrun

I think the orange people may have heard of and even met AJ Stringham before. They might be willing to do a web interview.

How could it not be with that description?

It's possible. Even if I was going to move, it wouldn't be until February at the earliest. I know I'm not going to have the money, even then. I really like the look of this job too!

You don't sleep anyway, right? You will still have your Dallas apartment as your legal address anyways. I am talking about doing this for a week or two. You could drive back to your Dallas apartment on the weekend

If it was a six-figure job, I wouldn't have been recommended for it.

How could you not be in a position to take it? It is so senior to what you are doing. It's ten years or more farther down the career path. If they think that you are qualified this would trump any apartment issues.

People actually do this, by the way.
-
I think it's worth your time to contact them and see if they might do the interview via Skype.

Exactly. I would break my lease in a heartbeat....

Homeless temporarily and rich long term? Or poor and never be without a home.
I lived in my car for a week in 1997 to get through.

I don't sleep very much, and not really soundly, but I don't think I could sleep in my car. Besides, living out of my car for 5 days a week is not appealing.

Did the person who recommended you know both the position and your experience well enough to match you?

The thing is, I don't have a big car. I'm a big guy. I suppose it's feasible, but I like coming home to something.

For a week or two? I spent a week in the everglades a few years ago. You want to talk about uncomfortable?
