Interview post-mortem
No, it didn't go that badly. In fact, the feedback I got from a friend who talked with the interviewer later was that "We may not be able to pay enough." This can be good news, or bad news. My friend and I are still working on his boss, we are doing everything but blackmailing him to get this job. All of the other applicants have absolutely no experience, so it's a shoo-in for me, as long as the income hurdle can be overcome.
I'm holding my hopes up. Please continue to think happy thoughts for me.
