My Thanks

I already did my little Thanksgiving Day post on LAist, but I am really really thankful that I got a job yesterday. I am now the staff accountant at Hulu.com. Say what you will about the company, but professionally I think it’s a good way for me to work up the ladder. As much as that concept still makes me shudder, that’s life. I had an initial phone interview two weeks ago, then met with my boss last week. I guess they really liked my enthusiasm, so they brought me in on Tuesday to meet with the CFO. I was with him for two hours where we got into the details of my experience. They really wanted someone with experience in Oracle Financials, so he had me actually use it to enter an invoice. I impressed him by telling him how to change things around to be more efficient and all. So yesterday my recruiter called me to tell me the good news. As for pay, they’re giving me the max they could offer which is good. It’s a good pay raise for me, but I still know I’m being underpaid with respect to what I’m doing. But like I said, it’s a way for me to get more experience so I’m willing to sacrifice a little. So I’m excited to get back to work. I start on Wednesday. After having almost a month off, I was starting to get really stir crazy. There’s only so much time I could take off. I can’t wait!!!!
