| I have a HUGE interview tomorrow. I am interviewing to be the US tax practice leader for a large multi-national investment firm. Meeting with 6 folks tomorrow for the final interview....3 cities (Chicago, London and Hartford) and the top executives in the company. This should be interesting!
This could be huge, so wish me luck fellas!

| OK...I'm finally done after 5 hours!I appreciate all of the well wishes!!
I think that I went pretty well. My last question was "When do you expect to make a decision on the role?" -- CFO's response "this afternoon or Monday morning at the latest". Now it is time to wait...
The crazy part is that I think the CEO is a watch guy. He has a PP with a black alligator strap with red stiching...and the first thing that he did after we met was look at my wrist. I'm not sure which model PP it was, but it had a grey/silver dial with big date and a register at 6 with two hands, one red. Looked very nice!

I just got the background check and application...it seems that something may be in the works... BTW - I did a little digging and I believe that the watch was a Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph with a custom strap...take a look: http://www.patek.com/patek-philippe.html?pageId=9075&backgroundId=4&lang=en&

I am happy at the worldwide leader, but a position like this only comes around once in a career...if you are lucky!

| Received application and background check request on Friday. Received a benefits summary on Monday...waiting.
According to my recruiter, I am their top candidate. But we are waiting to see what the offer is....waiting sucks.

I think you may be right on the budget Chris...but there is a ton of work to do in this role, so shopping may be the hard part! THANKS to everyone for the kind words!!! I cannot wait to start!
