Day Twenty-Eight: I'm Back

I raced back to get to Princeton today so I could prepare for my second interview with John.  I sit down at the computer, read the case study and start building the model.  As I dig my brain to remember how to come up with the right beta for the acqusition target, I stop and realize that I don’t want this job.  I stop focusing on the model and begin to think about how to best explain that I won't be coming to the interview tomorrow.   I liked the idea of working for John but I don't want this position.

As my old boss later tells me, "the rebound relationship doesn't usually work out, but it is good to have one."  I burned one bridge, but there will be many more.  It's not what I wanted and I am happy with my decision.

I spend the day catching upon emails, the blog and everything else that I've neglected for the past month before I head back to the city, park the car and walk into my apartment.  I can't tell if Lyla is upset or exhausted.  She has a look on her face that says, "I'd rather be in Miami."

I’m excited about being back for a week.

Home sweet home!
