Its called an interview. Get used to it, it only gets worse.
- Feersty - 09-19-2005
I got my first official offer today with Environmental Consultants and Contractors in Chantilly.
- .RJ - 09-19-2005
Congrats - salary, benefits, etc?

401K
Dental
Vision
Medical
$30,000/year
Not exactly sure with the commute as long as it is. But I need to start paying my own medical insurance.
- .RJ - 09-19-2005
$30k is rough.... thats about $460/week take home

You gotta start somewhere though. Good luck man, and congrats on the offer!
- Mike - 09-19-2005
460 take home per week, probably 50 in gas per week.... that gets ugly fast.

still better than $0/week
I say take the job and keep looking. If it's something you really want to do then keep doing it. I really think you should be making more and if they feel the same way then when you recieve another offer for more then they'll up your salary.
- Feersty - 09-19-2005
I am excited about it, I am sure it will go up. I suppose I will take it. Just $6 a day for gas is not too appealing.
- Mike - 09-19-2005
$6/day? what kinda gas mileage do you get? that is a REAL ugly commute no matter which way you go.
- Evan - 09-19-2005
living at home saves you at least $10k a year (after taxes), so you wont be in bad shape at all as long as you dont mind living with the 'rents. You should even be able to swing some tracktime.
- Chris - 09-19-2005
congrats Feersty. I was thinking of taking a job in FL for 25k, but after working out a budget and knowing how my car hobby will only continue, I decided to look elsewhere. It might be tough for a while, but just learn to budget real well.

Truck = about 23 mpg
Gas= $3 a gallon
Round trip to Chantilly= 46 miles
- Mike - 09-19-2005
23mpg in bumper to bumper for most of that trip?

Actually the only time that drove out there was for a 4pm interview so I am not sure what the traffik is like in the morning!
The traffik could be real bad though.
- Mike - 09-19-2005
"traffic" and yes, it's bad. what route do you plan on going?
- .RJ - 09-19-2005
Traffic going up ffx county parkway sucks in the morning... if you're north of I66, its going to really suck in the afternoon.
