DH is pretty miserable with the new firm he joined in March - mainly due to one of his work colleagues who spends 99% of her time putting him down and making snidey and unfair comments.
Out of the blue a very senior position as Marketing Director came up at the company his brother works for (brother would be very junior) which would be perfect. It's a huge company and would be a great step up financially as well as in terms of career progression.
He had an interview and got through to the shortlist, then he had to prepare a presentation for Wednesday morning. At the end of that he was told that it was between him and one other guy, that he was the more rounded candidate but the other guy was very passionate. DH is a very analytical strategist whereas the other guy is more of an arty marketing type.
The guy who is hiring said he wasn't sure which way to go and wanted to sleep on it and would call in 24 hours.
We didn't hear anything today, but BIL said there was a crisis and the guy had had to go to Scotland to sort it out...
So, we are biting nails like crazy and trying not to do scenarios or second guess like thinking that the other guy got it and they're negotiating so DH is on the backburner in case the negotiations don't work out etc...
Anyway, it's my birthday today and the best present I could get would be DH getting this position... PS dust always seems to have worked for me in the past, so would appreciate some!
