What's an antiquated programmer to do?

Well, that was interesting.

Perhaps I don't remember what interviews are supposed to be like. I was there (or at lunch with them) for 3.5 hours. I talked with many, many people.

I was only asked four questions. 4. IV. (business related, that is)

?????

It was as if they were selling me on why I should come work for them.

Now, I used to work with the guy who was my contact there. He was the first employee of the company which now employs about 90 and has a lot of pull there. Apparently he talked me up pretty big. I met the CEO and he asked my contact "Is this the new developer? Have you hired him yet?" I cannot believe how little they asked me.

The last thing I was told was that the ball was in my court. I can come work there if I want to. The only catch is a window of opportunity that isn't that big, so I would need to decide within a couple of weeks.

Every question I asked them I got responses that were better than I could have hoped for.

Dazed. Confused. Optimistic.
