I really like the team at SIB. They remind me so much of my colleagues at my last job, who were honestly the best part of working at LIB, and I'd be honored to join this new team. The interviews are done, now it's just waiting to see if an offer is forthcoming.  If the salary range is where I need it to be then it's a definite yes on my end, although the fact that this is a permanent position off the bat, instead of the temp-to-perm game (sometimes up to 3 years before conversion!) that LIB took advantage of constantly, means I'm far more willing to compromise on compensation. 

It's time to practice patience again.
