Hi. Never did I ever think it would take _twenty_ weeks. And after weathering many multi-month recruiting conversations that sent me on emotional rollercoasters with ultimately unsatisfying endings, the one that landed acted more like a rocket. There were just twelve calendar days between intro coffee and offer, including two weekends and Thanksgiving. Quick under any circumstances, lighting-speed in the context of the last six months. (I'm glossing, slightly. In truth, the seeds were sown for this new role over a late-August Brooklyn backyard grill... but I had long ago assumed that ride had also ended.)
