What do you do?

I just walk around campus or go to my car

I usually go to my car. I wouldn't walk around campus(if my employer was big enough to have one), too open for someone to overhear. Either way, both are too noisy and not ideal for taking notes or concentrating.

I disagree, flying people out and paying for relocation is a pretty standard perk. In the overall budget of hiring someone, those costs are nothing. And as I said before, the people inherently justifying those costs rarely have to deal with the financial aspect of that decision.

Well, I've had a lowball offer, and a couple more interviews.

My boss here keeps telling me, in an almost begging way, to stick it out with him for just a little while longer and that he has a plan.

I'm kinda like /shrug. If his plan comes to fruition first, we're solid bruh. But if I find something before that? I gotta look out for me, man.

Your boss is negotiating with upper management to get everyone a raise. I bet my balls on it.

So it was good news! Just not an offer yet.

I did very well and got a unanimous recommendation to hire from all of my interviewers. They have one more candidate scheduled to fly out next week, so in fairness to them they're completing the process before making an offer. If that decision isn't unanimous, the job will go to me. If it is, they'll have to make a decision between us both.

So! All very exciting, just not quite to the end of the process yet.

maybe they are telling you that you are not hired. If they told you, "sorry no hire," you might get salty. Since they told you, "hope is there...just hang on for one more interview we have" at least you are left hanging and you have less salt in your mouth when you find out they didn't hire you.

I have seen and done many interviews in car sales and they all left the interviewee "hanging." I dunno if it is just my industry, but out of almost 10 interviews I had, only one said, "no." One job had me come in two or three times and left me "hanging." Another job just told me, "this week...give me some time." Although, those that did hire me, just hired me right on the spot.. (three times).

Another funny aspect of interviewer side. If they don't hire you fast enough, they risk losing you as well. My boss waited two weeks to hire a front receptionist. Found out she had already gotten a job elsewhere with better pay and better hours. This went for about two month and then he said fuck it...Hired some single mom out of nowhere...

I'm actually finding it a bit unfun to have so much information I can't share with my wife. We never were very big on talking about work but now the basic extent of our conversation is "How did your day go?" / "Oh good. I did programming."

Would your wife even care about your work's info? I could give my wife secret privileged case info all day and she would just be like "uh huh, thats interesting dear" (immediately forgets everything I just said). We don't really talk about work much except in general terms.
