Difficult situations

[unixronin]

This is looking like I may end up in an awkward position.  Convergys (in Reston, VA) has said they're going to make a decision by Jan 1, and my inside contact told me his boss was drooling after my interview.  However, it seems nothing's going to happen on my other job prospect, Ceva-DSP (in San Jose, CA) until mid-January.

Thing is, if I end up with the choice of both, there's good reasons why I might prefer Ceva-DSP -- but it looks like if Convergys comes up with an offer, I'm going to have to decide on it before the interview with Ceva-DSP comes up.  Granted, one guy just joined Convergys, then left two days later when Sprint made him a better offer, but I don't feel comfortable doing that.  On the other hand, if I say no to Convergys, and then something happens and monkeywrenches Ceva-DSP .... that'd be Bad.

I dislike this situation intensely.

But one way or another, we have to get out of this rat-hole.

Sitting in my new job, in a location I'd rather not be, making 20-25% less than my last job, I hear you.

If the offer in NY still comes in, or something else does, I'll have to evaluate that as it comes...

For what it's worth, I'd seriously recommend calling Ceva and saying that you are very very interested, but you have another possiblity that is progressing elsewhere... Give them some details minus company name if they ask.
