[Finn666]

after today, Gosport is the only option for me to meet all of you!
hope moving into a new country isn't going to eat all of the money I'd like to spend on coming over and having a beer or ten with y'all! :-\

[Giles]

This is piss poor rafa! You are a project manager not 1 but 2 companies were fighting over.  So manage your project and get here!

[Giles]

There are airports in Switzerland…..And if thee guys want you so much, you tell them now, that you have a prior arrangement that require you to take the Friday and Monday off.

[Simon]

Make that 4, get over here for the party Rafa!

Finn, in all honesty Giles is serious above. For my most recent 2 roles I've told them I need a few weeks, most recently I told them I needed 1.5 to 'unwind', and the role before I took 2 weeks off. 1 of the guys I was interviewing for another role in the final round told me he needed 2 months off before starting. It won't be an issue if you tell them before you start you've already committed Fri/Mon of your first week…

Careful… The conspiracy has been aired on a public forum, one never knows...

[Giles]

I was being 100% serious.  The strongest position you will even be in is when negotiating for the job.  How do you think I own  a Breitling and Patek Philippe and a Jaeger Le'Coultre.  When I was negotiating a new role, I identified something a wanted a lot and then told the company that was interviewing me that the sign on payment was $xxxx, or no deal.  Never failed.

^Thanks for the tip in my next role. Won't forget that and utterly sensible.

[hajduk]

100% hilarious!!^^

[Megatron1505]

Seriously man, every time one of these events comes up you say that you're going to try and be there (New York last year), then you don't make it. Come on dude, time to get off the pot or shit.

[Giles]

Yeah Rafa, come for 3 nights.  You can lose your wallet, your phone and your favourite jacket.  Kill 3 birds with one stone…..

[GingerMagician]

I'm going to be there - coming down with a mate who's new to IH.

I've told him to make sure he brings his wallet…
