FU 2 the FU: I GOT IT!!!!!!
#8
[quote weapon]The job market is tighter than tight. I have been searching for a decent job for over 3 years, freelancing in the meantime.

This is better than decent. Probably the best job offer I have ever seen. I could go so far as to say a career versus just a job.
Ingrain this moment into your head. You have passed a milestone: you have proven, to yourself AND to the world, that you are among the best of the best and that no matter what, you will not only survive, you will thrive and prosper.

You are moving from existing to living. Others will hire in, others will move on, and no doubt at some point there will be reductions in force--commonly known as layoffs. Or maybe just reductions based on simple business re-adjustment. That happens all the time. After 6 to 12 months, take a look at the people around you and imagine that your department starts downsizing. Figure out which co-worker management would let go first, which would go second, and so on. You know what? You're probably spot-on.

And with the confidence you've gained from getting this position, plus the confidence you'll get by simply doing a great job (thankful people tend to produce results as opposed to simply mark time), you will have positioned yourself to survive and thrive even within that kind of environment. You will be valued.

You've passed a milestone.
