allekhaThe interview for Interesting Place went okay - I didn't think I was at 115%, but I didn't fail it, either, and they asked for references afterward, which seemed like a promising sign. Then I heard from one of my references that they had been contacted about it pretty soon after and had submitted their letter.
This week, I heard back - they offered me the position!! I took a minute to call my mom (nearly started hyperventilating with joy) and my dad (did not actually start crying from happiness like he promised lol) and then emailed them back to say YES, I would like it.
Technically, it's still unofficial, and to make if officially-official, I still need to talk with HR and such (who apparently called instead of emailing, which I didn't know because my phone was a failboat about it lolsob, I will call back at 9:05 on Monday - sorry lady who called me, you sounded very nice).
The one downside is that it's back home, and I kind of wanted to stay up here. Though on the other hand, I did ask about remote work during the interview and got an incredibly vague 'it depends, some of us are remote, some of us are part-time in person, some of us are in the office', and that was before the new variant. So who knows about when or if I will need to move. I guess it would be nice to see my parents more often. I am hoping I can at least wait a few months for Z to finish his degree.
But it's a research position, and it's almost as socially responsible as it gets since it's related to improving community health. So otherwise it's about as much as I could ask for. I am curious about when I will start and all the things I will have to learn for it.
