Suspense During the Haunting Season

They're trying to kill me - really, I'm about to die; the suspense is killing me. Out of the 90 or so companies I have sent my resume to, there are 3 at the top of my list. One, SG, deals in sapphire and has a new plant going online. Another, FD, deals in high production printer stuff (any more definitive would be a give-away), and is a division of a larger comapny. The last, OP, is in medical devices and was just sold to a large company that has deep pockets for further development.

All three are in the final stages of decision making. SG, I was just called for a second interview (really, after 6:15 PM the call came in) that will occur in the next couple of days. I emailed FD earlier in the week inquiring about where the process is at and they are to make a decision by the end of this week.

I would guess that SG will make their decision sometime next week. I would guess that FD will make an offer to their choice next week. OP is supposed to make a decision soon (this week, next week, maybe the week after). Although I'm hoping each of them makes me an offer, I dread the possibility that they all might make an offer.

I could be happy at SG, working with sapphire (for the 4th time), but in a start-up atmosphere while being affiliated with a large international company that has deep pockets. I could be happy at FD as they would keep me busy with a variety of responsibilities. I could be happy at OP learning the medical device intracacies of standards such as ISO13485, FDA etc.

I dread being in the position to pick - what if I pick the wrong one (which may not be evident for a year or more). What if one company makes me an offer, and the others wait too long until I have had to take the first offer? But, I would rather be in that position (and hope I am),than to have no offers at all.

I'm hoping for no tricks, and all treats - wish me luck!
