no longer a student bum!
« on: 27 June 2007, 19:51:42 »
Well got the official transcript though the post today, confirmed my 2:1 degree in Multimedia Technology & Design BSc, and my 76% (A) for my project  :)

Not bad for someone who was in Special needs at school!!


Well just came back from my second interview with a company called 'Pitch', they are a mobile content company based in Covent Garden, London. On my way back i got offered the job!  :D :D :D

They offered a very attractive salary , very attractive considering I am a graduate. Trouble is they want me to start next week, which puts the brakes on my Europe trip. They offered me 2 weeks paid leave, but thats the max they can do.

So I am in 2 minds:

a) The job on offer is excellent, exactly what i want to do, with an incredible salary. But i means my europe trip can be only 2 weeks max

b) not take the job and go for the full month, maybe month and a half trip around Europe.

My concern is, that this job is too good to miss. Even the recruitment consultant mentioned the starting salary was very high for graduates.

I guess i could pack a lot in 2 weeks, I did: Chicago, LA, Las Vegas, San Fransisco in 2 weeks before.

Bit confused here about what to do  :-/ :-/

Cograts on the pass tunnie  :y
As for the job, go for it mate then have the 2 weeks sussing out what part of the europe trip you like the best and go for a month when your next lot of holls are due. Just my opinion of course but good jobs dont come by to often these days, and besides with an excellent salary you could get a miggy too.  ;D

This job could be my foot in the door to the mobile industry....  :-/

If the salary was what you thought the other day, take the job. Save you leave, and next summer do Europe :y
