44, myself. I tend to interview well, which frankly surprises me, because I'm on the whole not as good at people as I'd like to be. I think, though, the thing that has best served me in that regard is walking into every interview remembering that I'm interviewing the company, as much as it is me.

Are these people I can spend as much of my life with as I would by taking this job? Do I respect them? Does the person I'd be reporting to seem like someone I'd be okay reporting to?

I've no shit been in a place where getting this one, specific job was the only chance I had — less than a month's burn rate in the bank, and with no other prospects — but walking into an interview like that has, in whatever part, landed me an offer every time.
