The first interview was a joke - I found out before I went that the company is going under (I'm an accountant and want no part of that).

Second went well, pays $18K LESS than my last job.

Third went well too, it only pays $15K LESS than my last job.

That is depressing. And I wasn't grossly overpaid by any stretch.

Thinking about taking one of them if offered and keep looking. Hate to do that to someone. Thoughts anyone?

You really can fake it for an hour or two. It also helped me realize that I need outside validation - I felt really good after the two today. Why can't I make myself feel like that?
