Has anyone else ever been offered a position after just a phone interview? I feel some misgivings about potentially "walking in blind," since I didn't meet anyone face-to-face. On the other hand, I am reassured knowing that this company is a financial powerhouse, whose name everyone would recognize.
There is also the matter of being an overtime-eligible W2 hourly contract employee on paper, but I was told verbally that the client expects a "professional day" (8 to 10 hours). They also told me I could work out a deal with management to use the extra time toward personal time off. Should I at least give this a shot? The money's huge, but it's a 2-hour commute each way.
On the other hand, I was also offered another contract-to-perm position with half that commute and less money. Either place is a big step up from where I am leaving, both in terms of money and title. Bottom line is leaving a 50-minute commute job with high stress, to a 70-minute commute for 21% more money and SUPERB quality of life. Or instead go for a 2-HOUR commute for 45% more money, also high stress job.
How would you choose?
