Default Got My First Job Offer

So I came over to the west side for the some interviews. I got an offer from the first interview that day and its decent. The company is in Redmond.

I am still waiting on 2 offers from other Seattle area companies and so I think I can put a little heat on them since I have to let them know whether I want the job or not by the end of next week.

I look forward to moving to the Seattle area and cant wait to finally get in on some quality meets and track days.
My old roomie and I are looking to put together a little weekend drift car together.

Edit

Read Below, not moving to seattle anymore....

Ill have a mechanical engineering degree. It looks like I am probably headed into the fire systems design field. Another area I might still be heading into is Mechanical Construction Contracting doing project management. It all depends on whether or not I get an offer from them.

Mech Engr FTW! R U a former FSAE or Mini-Baja guy? Congrats on the job! I like to hear that a lot of engineers drive 350Z's. It gives credit to the engineering and design work put into it.

I did Formula SAE for 2 years here, we were the first group at our school to ever do Formula SAE and build a full car. It used to be mini-baja back in the day.

But it might be a good idea to bring your plaid flannel shirt and some suspenders.

Boeing? I heard that some Boeing Z car drivers are such good autocrossers that they can get their Z to turn on a dime and then tell you whether it was heads or tails. Is this true?

Like they said abone, your first job is always the most memorable, might not be the best paying though lol anything between 45-55k is good for recent grad.
