RV,
After reading a useless post like that, it makes me wonder if another year away would give you more energy.
The offer will be what it will be..... Very little that we can do about it. Yes some on the forum thought/believed/wished//dreamt/argued it was going to be a life changer- they are entitled to that position.
At end of day it is business - right or wrong on how it is conducted but still business.
