Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"All I can say is that the job is going to be hard, but the skills you learn will be invaluable to your long-term career. Try to negotiate for a higher salary to begin with, because that will be the only chance you get for a long long time. If you can stick it out past the first year to 18 months, then you'll learn the skills you need to feel comfortable in the job without relying so much on the help and direction of others. If you can stick out out that long, I think you'll find the overall experience worth it, and you'll have a whole new respect for yourself on what you are capable of achieving."
