Got The Offer!

At 10:30 this morning, the Director of my team called me to extend an offer of employment. But it didn't sound like I would be getting an offer when she first began to speak, since she was almost apologetic in tone. "I just wanted to thank you again for your work this summer. I know you worked really hard, but (long pause) everyone really liked you, and (long pause) well . . . I'm happy to extend you an offer of employment and hope that you'll join us next summer." During every long pause, I remained quiet, but in my head I kept thinking, "OMG, here it comes. The bad news." LOL. I talked to a campus recruiter about an hour later and he said, "Yeah, that's how they do it here." I love this company!

So I'm 95% sure that I'll take the offer, which will put me in New York for the next few years. The details on salary, signing bonus, etc., come through on Monday. I can't wait!
