A Future PMer

During Meg's exit meeting this summer, she got the feeling that Plante Moran might be giving her an offer to work for them next year.  Nothing specific was said, but the overall meeting was extremely positive and her future plans were discussed.  She didn't want to get her hopes up, but was definitely excited about the possibility.  She also realized that even if she didn't work for Plante next year, the experience that she gained this summer would be extremely helpful in landing a job elsewhere.

Meg spent all of last week trying not to worry about a job offer.  She knew from past conversations with others that offers would come out this week.  She hoped that she would know something by Monday, but thought that was unrealistic.  She talked about it a little bit, especially on our shopping day on Wednesday, but did realize that none of the other interns had heard anything either.  Thus, she pushed it into the back of her mind.

On Thursday of last week she went to McAllister's with Philip and Alistar for lunch.  Because she was gone all afternoon, I actually kind of forgot about Plante.  I was busy getting ready for the third tennis match of the week and trying to get the house in order.  Thus, it slipped my mind.  She called me when she left Mishawaka, but only talked about the two friends that she had just seen.  Therefore, I was absolutely shocked when she arrived at the tennis match and announced to Doug and I that she had heard from the Tax Partner at Plante Moran.  They were giving her a full time offer to start in August of 2023.  The salary was more than she had imagined and overall she was extremely happy.  Doug and I were very proud of her.  Later that night she received an email from her Principal congratulating her on becoming a future PMer.

Yesterday, Meg received her official offer letter from Plante Moran.  She sent a PDF of it to Doug and I.  We ready through it and once Doug said that it looked good, she went ahead and electronically signed it.  She was ecstatic to be done job searching so early in her senior year.  All of her hard work had paid off and now she could relax for a little bit or at least until she had to study for midterms.
