This time for my husband. He has a job interview set up for this afternoon. He is happy where he is, but his boss just doesn't appreciate him and therefor he isn't making anywhere near what he should be (he's a mid-level computer programmer and he's only making 52K which is what entry-level programmers make elsewhere). We're getting close to Nug's arrival and on that salary combined with mine, there is no way that I could stay home with the baby - which has been my lifelong dream to do. If he gets a job with the company he's interviewing with today, he will be making about 13-15K more than he currently is which means we'd definitely be able to get by with me working one or two nights a week and a few hours on the weekend... so while I'd still have to work it wouldn't be fulltime and we wouldn't need daycare.
So please! Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers today. We really *really* need this. If the guys today pass him up, he has no choice but to go to his current boss and ask for a huge raise. The money is there, but we're afraid his current boss would either flat-out say no OR agree to give him a huge raise *if* he "sells his soul" to him, meaning the boss would expect him to work 60-70 hours a week... and with a new baby in the house and us adjusting to a whole new family unit, that just wouldn't work. And, well, if the boss just said no, we're screwed - I'd have to work but daycare would basically negate my salary (except for a few thousand) and I'd be absolutely miserable putting my child into daycare...
I really hope this interview works out and Josh gets the new job. Please pray for us!!
