If there is one thin...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your input! If there is one thing which has come through loud and clear its the separation issue when traveling! I would definitely be going home on the weekend but I wasnt sure if I could ask for them to pay for it but it totally makes sense to me!<BR/><BR/>Yeah when they commented on my academic experience they wanted to know why it took me too long to get into industry. I didnt want to bash that original company i worked for so i simply said they werent growing! In reality working there was a terrible experience for me and I had to get back into academia asap (I knew i was in trouble after 3 months but having to deal with immigration is the pits and time consuming!)-because I needed to find a real job in the US, learn new skills and then figure out which company was a good one. I was so scared of being trapped into another bad company that I went into a safe area and that was back into the lab! Then at the new lab my PI was offered a great opportunity in a new state and so he relocated our lab! Again a new visa was issued for the new location and being a dedicated employee I helped him to grow his lab and time flew by! But I have always wanted to work for industry and if I was an American or permenant resident I totally would have switched back into industry straight away! It was simply a case of once bitten twice shy!<BR/><BR/>It takes a bit of time to understand the system here in the US, form social security to medical insurance to hiring etc!<BR/><BR/>But I made it clear this has always been where Ive been heading!<BR/><BR/>As for the $60K- pros would be it would provide me with experience in industry and I can always work damn hard and ask for a raise ...but I have a number in my head and I know what I am worth in relations to quality of life!<BR/><BR/>Can you give me an idea of the the base salary that a company like your company would offer to someone who has zero experience in industry? If this helps the company of interest has roughly 100 people..(rounded it up)!<BR/><BR/>I have a number in my head and i was want to know if its realistic!<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much!<BR/><BR/>DAPIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
