Fitch said they went w/ someone who designs annual reports in their sleep. I've never done one. Haven't heard from Factor in SF, which is a shame cause I LOVE SF.
So It's between Catalone Design near DC, 2e Creative here, & Kuhlmann Leavitt (KLI), also here...though I haven't interviewed w/ KLI yet.

SO.
For those of you that give a damn, I took the job here in STL. It was a super tough decision—the other offer was at a cool boutique shop with a lot of cultural/art based clients, but there would be no real room for growth; at the firm here I'll come in as a senior designer, which is nice since I've only been at this design game for about 3 years. And the money is good. Now I won't have to take out a loan when the time comes to buy my GF a ring.
Hope I made the right decision...thanks all for the advice, help & critique these past few months (no, I'm not following JazX out the door just yet :)

hmm, i'm interested to know which firm is the best design firm in STL. i may be working in the wrong place?

Now that's two people in the STL that I never knew were here. Anyone else??

update:
I'd accepted the offer from 2e, was supposed to start on the 15th, then a couple days later Kuhlmann Leavitt offered me a job. The apology phone call to 2e was reeeeally awkward, but I think KLI is a better move.
just started yesterday. I'm nervous but really excited :D
P.S. 2e Creative is now looking for a senior designer ASAP for anyone in STL who's interested. And Catalone Design in MD needs a middle-weight.

mind the bridges you burn though

(Mar 8 06, 08:57)Yeah, that part sucks. I imagine this sort of thing happens a lot though. I tried to be as nice as possible; it would've been a decent gig but KLI is a better career move for me.

I'm in STL too. I am curious which firm did you mention as being the best in the area, KLI?
Btw, unfortunately St Louis is one of the most dangerous cities in the country.

coolio.
i had a girl changing her mind a day before she was supposed to start. that wasn't cool.
then again, i was on my way out there, so i don't blame her.

(Mar 8 06, 09:49)Yeah, KLI is the best around these parts, in my opinion. But I'm pretty new around here, so that could be a lie from the pit of hell. Haven't seen anyone better yet, tho. The design scene around STL seems kinda small, coming from the northeast.
