But I heard it from an inside source. Could certainly be wrong, though.

I'm guessing it's a spousal situation. I don't have any inside knowledge, but the one other place where I know she had an offer wasn't able to work out a satisfactory spousal arrangement for someone else I know who was offered a job there. Maybe USC was, and certainly there are lots of options in LA in general.

At least one place (Michigan) made offers to both.

It's interesting that our sense of academic status is so profound that it's a great mystery why, in choosing between two jobs in very different parts of the country, climates, with different colleagues, etc., someone might choose one that is lower status. This just strikes me as a very revealing moment in which it becomes clear how much we collapse our multi-dimensional sense of what a good life entails into one solitary status dimension, when we think about the job market. (I include myself here, because I experienced the same sense of surprise.)

I believe there's a pervasive myth in this year's job market -- that two candidates from Harvard that received many offers are partners. They are not. Michigan made offers to two candidates from Harvard, Deirdre and another candidate. That other candidate is not Deirdre's partner. So GG234 are you referring to the other Harvard candidate or a third offer made to Deirdre's partner?

Post by I'd done the same on Feb 10, 2014 12:01:12 GMT -5
She did not receive an offer from Berkeley (two other folks did), someone else took the job at Princeton, so if my choices were between Ann Arbor and Los Angeles, and USC made it affordable for me to live there, i'd have done the same.

My bad, I doubled checked the princeton info. It was a different position. Shouldn't have been so hasty, my apologies.

This information is incorrect. Offer is out, no decision has yet been made.

after this shenanigan thread, the mods won't let us post university names anymore.
we'll be confined to "a university made an offer to a person" in all threads.

So was this ever resolved one way or the other?
