employed.

"This is not your big break; it's just a springboard."

I had a phone interview, an in-person interview, and an offer.

The good:
I am an associate.
The firm specializes in employment law.
I negotiated a better salary than the initial offer.

The bad:
The pay.
It's in Long Beach.

I have to make some compromises. What's my alternative? This BS hostess job? Working practically for free? This is not forever. The universe might not give me everything I want, but it's pretty good at taking care of my needs.
