I got a job offer today.
I had 4 interviews this week at the same university - different departments. Three seemed very interested in me. The department HR person asked if I had a preference. I did, between two different areas. She said if both areas were going to make me an offer, she'd try to make it so that they made them together so I'd get my pick. That was Friday.
Today an hour ago, the doctor I interviewed with on Friday called to offer me the job.
Unfortunately, her department was my 2nd pick.
I guess I should have jumped at the offer. Instead I asked her to wait until Monday as I had some questions for the department HR person (I wanted to confirm salary, the ability to advance and to see if the other department was even going to make me an offer). She agreed. I don't think my request was unreasonable.
Now I'm completely kicking myself and paranoid that the doctor will get pissed off and withdraw her offer and the other department isn't going to make me an offer.
I'm going to be sweating until Monday.
