Dang, M, that's a great deal. I did some haggling and brought them up from their initial offer, but I didn't to that well. Still, more than I was making, and they threw in a signing bonus. I wanted to get a clear idea of how many days they wanted me to work from home vs. the office, and the answer was "Be an adult, get your work done, don't worry about it so much." So fewer morning rides for my too most likely unless I will be heading to the office.
When I came from my last job to the one I'm shutting down now, I went from a twisty canyon road commute to a gridlocked freeway, and one would think that would be a bummer. But, the canyon road was actually more tense than the freeway. The canyon road was about one of the most dangerous in the area, with fast riders coming up on slow trucks and veering into oncoming traffic, and inattentive drivers sliding into the canyons. Too many near-misses for my comfort. At least on the freeway, everyone is pointed in the same direction, even if they are moving slowly.
