Update on this, manager got back, basically job is mine if I want it. Meeting up in two weeks once they figure the books to see what the pay rate is and if I still want it based on the pay.
Keep your head up and hope for the best prepare for the worst.
Sadly the job I was hoping for didn’t take me maybe another opportunity comes along.
Good news a manager for a different job wants to have a catch up meeting about the position next week. Hope they got funded and we move on to full time data scientist.
