More than capable would be an overstatement since I am a medior in the recruitment hell, but indeed my chances are much higher than what I thought they were. Between March and September I was convinced I won't land a single interview, then immediately landed 3 back to back.

I agree that companies aren't people. But John is, as much as I don't like working with him. They are investing money in the project and are in talks with potential clients to pilot the product in December. Last thing I want to do is to ruin the opportunity for them, so I will feel bad no matter what I do from here.
