Hi Gentlemen,
On Wednesday I had a phone interview with the Director of R&D at a laboratory I'd love to work at. The director extended me a verbal offer and we discussed a potential salary and start date. He told me the offer isn't official until I come to NYC to complete the background check and HR process. I'm currently a university graduate student working at the university and this is my first real job offer. The phone interview was Wednesday and as of Friday I haven't heard anything from HR regarding the next step. The potential start date is about two months out. I'm excited but trying to remain realistic and calm. It is in a research/nonprofit/academic laboratory so I don't expect it to be as fast as other companies but I can't help but be anxious.
What are your thoughts?
