I had an interview yesterday with some radio stations for a Web gig. When we got to talking money, they gave me a kind of deer-in-the-headlights look, so I'm not optimistic that anything will become of that. It was interesting to hear how well off the company is, especially since they're not Clear Channel. Local radio isn't quite dead yet.
Tomorrow I'm interviewing with a firm that builds and designs mostly marketing sites for some national brands you've heard of. I've actually talked with them before, once before ICOM, once after. They made an offer once, but the time off was a sticking point. I wasn't asking for a month off the day I started, but I don't want to wait forever to get something either. We'll see what they say this time around.
ICOM spoiled me in that respect, in that there you get vacation as you go. That's how it should be. The longer you work there, the more you get each pay period. Progressive had the same system. You shouldn't have to wait a year just to take a three-day weekend.
