It's why I like to think about it as a courtship
ritual.  You're thinking about spending at least 8
WAKING hours of your day with this person.  Is this
someone you REALLY want to be with?

Also, learn from my mistake.  Somewhere around your
navel, there's another brain.  It's called your gut
instinct.  Whatever you do, do NOT ignore it.
Listen to what it is telling you.

If your gut instinct tells you don't take this job,
don't be lured by money, prestige, or ego.  Run like
hell.

I didn't listen to mine once and it was a very
painful experience.
