Had my second round interview on Friday. I think it went well, although not 100% stellar. I had a clear conversation about my whole spawning plans, which I think eased some concerns. I walked out of there wanting the job, and truly feel that the decision on if I get it or not will depend on the quality of the other candidates and not my personal situation. But if I get it, do I want it? There's the rub. The commute is 45 minutes driving (1 hour on the train), which might be tough with the kids. There's more travel. The responsibilities are more to my taste, and I would get to be more of a scientist, but there would also be more work. Should I mess with a good personal situation for an unknown?
Some plusses - a lot of people work remotely, so if the Breadwinner ended up moving next year, I could go with him. Less likely in my current position. The Breadwinner is actually looking at something in the same direction of my commute - maybe we could move closer? Definitely scientifically more challenging and interesting - I miss a higher stress environment. Plus, I'd be able to tell if I actually don't like editing or if its just my current job that rubs me the wrong way.
Minuses - again - time for the kids, distance from home, higher stress position. Plus, there's something about spawning that makes me not want to undergo another major change right now.
Eh, I'm not going to think about this in any detail until I see if I get an offer or not. Wish me luck!
