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.
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!

Sleep in your car until you get that first paycheck. You will be alot better off in the longrun
And be homeless?
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

@scottalanmiller , I doubt it's a six-figure job.
How could it not be with that description?
If it was a six-figure job, I wouldn't have been recommended for it.

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.

Did the person who recommended you know both the position and your experience well enough to match you?

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.

For a week or two? I spent a week in the everglades a few years ago. You want to talk about uncomfortable?

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.

Yeah, I did it in NY where I got to have a blanket, not worry about lacking air conditioning.

I am not going to press the issue anymore. If you were serious about advancing your career and grabbing an opportunity when it came you could make it work. You never know how a person is living till you walk in their shoes. You may work or be friends with someone whose situation isn't ideal. You could really make it work if you wanted to.

I would be surprised if it's six figure. But still applying and interviewing for jobs is always good experience if you don't take them. You know how many interviews I've had in the past 2-3 months that I've had to turn down due to the pay being to low for the drive. A lot!

You can rent a car if you need one for a few weeks til you can move.
That wouldn't be cheap. If I got the job, assuming I interviewed and found a way to make this work, I'm just trying to figure out how this could be doable...I need to talk to someone I know.

Exactly you can't expect things to be handed things in life. You need to put in effort for them.
