Friday I was given good news and bad news. Good news is that I was offered another position at a well respected institution. Bad news is that the position that I accepted last week is going to be delayed another week, which would cause my health benefits to be delayed another month. Although, that might actually be a blessing as it gives me more time to make up my mind on which position I really want to pursue. The benefits on the new position are a lot better than any others I have been offered. I will be talking to the person I have been interviewing with to get a better idea on what the job entails as I was left a little confused after the last interviewer’s round of questioning. I will also be talking to the HR person to see if I have enough leverage to even the playing field, since I do have another offer on the table. If the playing field is leveled, I think I would have to take the new offer as the benefits appear to be better.
