          I would interview, but to interview I'd have to drive 3 hours each way for a job I'm in no position to take.

          I think the orange people may have heard of and even met AJ Stringham before. They might be willing to do a web interview.

            @scottalanmiller , I doubt it's a six-figure job.

            How could it not be with that description?

              It's possible. Even if I was going to move, it wouldn't be until February at the earliest. I know I'm not going to have the money, even then. I really like the look of this job too!

                You don't sleep anyway, right? You will still have your Dallas apartment as your legal address anyways. I am talking about doing this for a week or two. You could drive back to your Dallas apartment on the weekend

                    How could you not be in a position to take it? It is so senior to what you are doing. It's ten years or more farther down the career path. If they think that you are qualified this would trump any apartment issues.

                      People actually do this, by the way.

                        I think it's worth your time to contact them and see if they might do the interview via Skype.

                          Exactly. I would break my lease in a heartbeat....

                            Homeless temporarily and rich long term? Or poor and never be without a home.

                            I lived in my car for a week in 1997 to get through.

                              I don't sleep very much, and not really soundly, but I don't think I could sleep in my car. Besides, living out of my car for 5 days a week is not appealing.

                                  The thing is, I don't have a big car. I'm a big guy. I suppose it's feasible, but I like coming home to something.

                                      I know the person who recommended me a little. I hung out with him on Monday with @dengelhardt . He's been watching me on SW I guess.
