The interview for the visiting assistant professor role was excellent. It was very organized, and I had great conversations that showed how my skills would fit the academic community. The friendly and supportive atmosphere, plus the lively campus, made me feel like this was the right place for me.

The interview process involved meeting with the department chair and several faculty members. Students were also present during a lecture. The questions asked were straightforward and fair. I ultimately turned down the position because the salary offered was very low, comparable to a doctoral student's pay, and they wouldn't negotiate after I presented my terms.
