The recruiter contacted me and assisted me in every step of the process. She provided clear information on the job, location, compensation, and benefits. The recruiter conducted the initial phone interview to see if the job and I were a match.

I was flown in for a day's worth of one-on-one interviews, including a group panel. The questions were fair.

One week later, I was given a job offer that included a sign-on bonus and relocation package. Over the next week, I negotiated with my previous employer and Intel. My previous employer countered the Intel offer. Intel countered back with a modification to the bonus and relocation package.

Upon my acceptance of the Intel offer, I had three days to get a drug test and accept the request for a background check.

Two weeks later, my employment was confirmed.

How do you deal with conflict and get a decision made?
