12 – Late for a Job?

Upon reflection, I realize I had planned to have a job tied up much sooner, and not still be planning out my life after school going into my last semester. Or, perhaps I have a skewed sense of when it makes sense to hire people. Usual employees don’t plan out 8 months in advance when they are going to switch jobs: it seems the rush to snatch up graduates has pushed recruiting efforts earlier and earlier into the semester, and I’ve been anchoring on that time frame. To reanchor: normal employees don’t usually plan to switch employers so many months in advance (maybe unless they’re a corporate spy), and startups (my employment of choice) don’t even need the stress of trying to recruit employees so many months into the future.
