<p>Holy cow, that sounds fantastic!! I wish all of our children could get something so wonderful!!</p>
<p>Sounds terrific! Hope she’s doing a serious happy dance, given the economy! Will the salary be OK if she has to move to Boston?</p>
<p>She’s already living in Boston, and has had a budgeted amount she’s been living on, which has included support from us and very minimal hourly rate at her current temporary job. She will basically be making enough at this job that equals what she had been living on.</p>
<p>Excellent! Nice that the load will be coming off of you, then!</p>
<p>This is so exciting. As a headhunter, I deal with job offers all the time - well not so much lately unfortunately - and as I was reading through the posts, things were popping into my mind. I was so pleased to get to the post saying that it was wrapped up. My sense was that, even for a small company, there is usually someone other than the owner or founder who deals with benefits. Even if the owner gives out info, you can’t trust it. They often don’t know the ins and outs of benefits. </p>
<p>Good luck to her - and congratulations to the proud parents who did such a good job!</p>
<p>Terrific news!
H and I don’t have a car any more as we hardly used ours. Public transportation is great!
Enjoy the weekend.</p>
<p>Congratulations.</p>
<p>Many, many years ago when I was more of a risk taker, I went to work for a .com startup company. They gave me some stock options, which I thought would be worthless. Well, the company has survived, it is getting sold, and my option has not expired.
If your daughter is ever offered options or stocks someday, tell her to take it.</p>
<p>Congrats to your D. This is an exciting time for her (and family)!</p>
<p>

<p>You know the old saying… when it rains, it pours - well, she had made a connection about a month ago with a guy H had gone to high school with and was now in senior leadership at a major PR/ad agency in Boston. She met with him and he passed her resume around, and was willing to help. Wouldn’t you know it, he emailed her yesterday telling her they had two job openings and to send her stuff in right away.</p>
<p>Congrats to you and your family…!!</p>
<p>teriwtt, congratulations to you and D ! Very exciting, and we’re so happy for you.</p>
<p>BTW, maybe we should start a subforum for new jobs. After all, those who have gone through the last 4-6 years together have now gone from hoping our kids get accepted to their first choice schools, to wondering about benefits and commute to their first jobs.</p>
<p>Then one day soon, we can have a CC seniors forum, all for us. We can share metamucil recipes or something. <em>sigh</em> it’s scary to see the years going by so fast.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s a really, really scary thought. How 'bout we talk about being grandparents first?</p>
