So...

[johnpalmer]

This impeccably dressed gentleman asked me if I would mind a small fingerstick if the contract was offered to me, and if there were any liens upon my soul...

Er, that is... I've been told that Microsoft would be interested in having me interview for an open position.

My contract ends in August. I'm currently broke. I want to go back to school, but I think that's at least a year away, if I stay gainfully employed and build up some cash reserves. And if I don't end up going back to school, well, there are worse places to work.

Anyone have any thoughts?

No harm in having options.

There's never harm in having more options. I've heard that Microsoft can be a good place to work.

Just be careful to keep evaluating the situation in terms of your goals and interest. I know I have a tendency to internalize an employer's needs and goals and "own" problems that really aren't mine... sometimes to the detriment of my own best interest.

And, of course, be careful of any kool aid they offer you. ;-)
