Sometimes you need to make a life decision, go figure...

The company that I’m interning for here is announced to me last week that they will be offering me a job. When I took this internship I was told that they were not going to offer me a job but they have been impressed with my work and maybe my slow progression in Japanese. So this was a little unexpected.

This is causing all sorts of problems because I haven’t found a job in the United States yet. I’m returning to the states in about a month and was planning to be in the Chicago area at least through New Years. I would have to talk about shipping things here, finding an apartment that is big enough for said things (impossible), and Cassie just got a car which I think is useless here.

I haven’t gotten money amounts yet but I already suspect that I would have 10x the responsibility here that I would with a job in the US (I work for a venture capitalist firm) and the money should be pretty good too. I don’t think Cassie would be as happy here though because it is far from “home” and she doesn’t speak a lick of Japanese. I could only do this if the both of us were happy here (and I’m not even sure if I would be 100% happy here). Of course there are about 100 other variables hitting me right now…
