Compensation: negoitable

I was thinking about it more and the final con wasn’t worded as I intended. I didn’t mean to imply all manufacturing facilities are inherently sexist… here is what happened, all over the facility there are swimsuit calendar’s (doesn’t bother me, doesn’t bother her) but at once point someone walked up to her and her interviewer and asked “why are you interviewing a woman for a man’s job?” Now, she thought it was a joke despite a deadpan delivery, and the guy interviewing her played it off as a joke, but it sort of rubbed her the wrong way. I wanted to capture that experience as a Con but not explicitely call it out. Does that change of your conclusions? Or do you think that it doesn’t really matter?

They are already told she will continue looking for a job.

It is a perfect situation.

On a ligher note:
Haven’t you noticed that it is easier to find a job once you have job?
It is like girlfriends. When you have none… girls don’t look at you. When you have one, you have to start pushing them away.

Money and Investing

Anyone making a job offer is implicitly expecting to wait two weeks before you start. Most will wait longer if you need them to. So the real question is whether she expects to get an offer in the next two weeks from a prospective employer that’s unusually impatient. Only you and she can judge the probability of that outcome…especially since only you and she know how good her Baltimore network is, how active her search has been, how many prospects are currently in active consideration, how good she felt about her prospects during the recent interviews, or for that matter just what exactly “recently” means.

If they think she’d like it so overwhelmingly that they’re offering it to her in full knowledge that she wouldn’t immediately stop hunting…well, then either they’re too delusional to be trusted around heavy machinery or else maybe they have a point. On the other hand, if she’s realistically expecting an offer call to come in on Monday, and she’s pretty convinced she’d hate this place, then it probably doesn’t make sense to go work there.
