My search is complete. I have been offered and accepted a position as Utilities Engineer for Consolidated Container Company. I was able to walk away from the negotiating table with a decent salary, significant relocation bonus, vacation time ready to go, and a pro-rated end of year bonus (should it be dispersed). Not a bad deal if you ask me.
All that's left now is to find a spot in luxurious Atlanta and enjoy my own place. My first work assignment will start Sep 27th where I'll be traveling for 2 weeks doing engineering stuff. This will be followed by a "long weekend" (boss' words) where I'll actually drive a U-Haul with all my crap to the city.
I get the feeling everyone at CCC is just as excited as I am to come aboard. I'm super excited because suddenly all my problems (read: money problems) will suddenly evaporate as I have a bank account with more than $200 in it at any given time (:
As far as the Navy goes, that will be on hold indefinitely. I'm not going to stop P90X, but I'm not going to be racking my brain trying to prepare for the tedious technical interviews either. If I should find that in a couple years making plastic bottles isn't my thing, then I'll explore the naval avenue if needed.
I'll still post updates here, but the main focus will shift from me searching for a job and go towards how I make the transition into the professional life.
I invite you to join me for the ride (:
