Yesterday's meeting was not about making me an offer as Bryan thought. It was just so the guy could meet me, tell me that I had the highest test score they'd ever seen (43 on the Wonderlic Personnel Test, if that means anything to anyone), tell me that they're "VERY impressed" with me, and ask me what my strengths and weaknesses are. Why this couldn't have been accomplished in a phone call (saving him the trip and me the hour and a half personal time), I have no idea.
If they make me an offer, I'm probably going to say no.
To make a long story short, the insurance - only medical, as opposed to the excellent medical, dental and vision coverage I have now - costs over twice as much per paycheck and isn't as good as what I have now, AND the job will be moving to their corporate office in the next 3 months to a year. Corporate office is 40 miles from my house, the route there is under construction for the next 3-4 years, and is shitty for winter driving.
Paying more money for less insurance and an even shittier commute than the one I have now (albeit shorter, mileage-wise) within a year? Without a guarantee that they'd even match the wage I make now?
I don't think so. They're really going to have to hit one out of the park salary-wise for me to consider it.
