Pros?
- They let people work from home. Most people are in the office Tuesday through Thursday and home on Monday and Friday.
- Less intense work environment, except for one woman.
- I like being around the energy of a city. I miss that more than I thought I would.
- I could take the train and bike ten relatively bike-friendly blocks to get there. (past Adobe)
- That one woman would have a big impact on my life. She's a ball-buster mixed with "Devil wears Prada" non-directions. She used to work for my current company, so I know a little what I'm in for if I get an offer.
- It's an hour commute each way. Which means we'd need a dog walker at least a few times a week.
- I'm out of town most of next week (two buddies are joining me and we're heading north to a cabin in the redwoods). Sooo...I have to get my website updated in the next two days! Yikes. My skills are rustier than a pair of scissors left in the backyard all winter.
Even if nothing comes of it, it's a good reason to blast out a website in a few days. Right?

Totally agree - it's like inviting dinner guests so you have a reason to clean the house...but maybe I just have bad housekeeping skills :)
If you're worried about leaving the new company high and dry, I'd think that a bigger concern would be -- what if all goes well and Jrex gets an excellent job offer from back East?
But if so, I would think that it would help that you have developed new skills, that you have another job on your resume, and that you have higher pay.
Would you have guilt feelings about leaving your current employer?
Two hours of commute each day. A great opportunity to fulfill a cherished dream -- like reading all of Shakespeare.
And I would think that working in San Francisco would itself be part of a cherished dream. All that vitality!
So, I can't stand the suspense. Did you interview for the job?
