Hey just wanted to know what was over the top. A PM is a serous position that could be life or death for a company. It has just been my experience that companies mean business. I hate to sound mean but a company doesn't want a loser as a PM or estimator (Please give me a job sniff sniff). Yeah they might know someone is unemployed, but the ball is always in your court. If a guy was in that bad of a position they would get a job as a Journeyman, or helper. Just tell them you want to take your career to the next level. Just picture yourself the owner of a multimillion dollar business. What type of guy would you want in that position. How would he dress, talk, react to situation, work, ect...
As far as not given a salary number up front, I am sure you guys have been pressured before that you really want something and all the sudden you say a number then you get in your car saying shoot I just can't afford to do that shoot shoot shoot.
How did the interview go?
What do you guys thing about calling back the hiring manager 2 days after the interview. What type of questions would you ask? Maybe Do you have any other questions that you want to ask me?
