Would I really leave the West Coast?

Well, I just had a second phone interview with the job in Edmonton. I was really apprehensive about it, and was thinking about calling to withdraw … but the guy who interviewed me (who would be my boss) was really cool. He’s originally from this city, and is coming down with his family next weekend … so he wants to arrange a face-to-face third interview. We also talked about when I could start, and he seemed really flexible with a start date. He said that he would be willing to wait for when was best for me, because he’s looking for the right candidate in a long-term role, and doesn’t want to rush anything. Especially since I would have to relocate. He also noted my salary range was definitely doable, and said he would do everything he could to bump me up to the higher end of what I want.

The job itself seems like a GREAT opportunity. He said he was looking to groom someone as if they were going to take over his position – a “work partnership,” is what he called it. That’s exactly what I’m looking for.

I want to stay here on the west coast very much, but if I’m not getting any response from the positions I’ve been applying for, I can’t wait forever. I’ve been on the job hunt for almost 2 months now … time is ticking!
