I seldom ask for this sort of stuff on CP, but today I find myself wishing to proposition the good will of all that is CP and its CPians.
Turns out I got a phone call from a talent acquisition manager at NBC Universal moments ago and they're looking for a role that's perfect for me, which is to work directly with the business sponsors to help build up a new project in the TV Development department. This is something I did at Live Nation, so this would be an awesome job for me because A: I can continue the growth in my career I started at Live Nation B: it's freaking NBC and C: it's literally like one mile away from where I live so I'd have no lengthy commute.
What I would require is for all those who believe, is to keep the positive juju alive and put it out there in the great ether that is the universe that I should get this job. Believe it with me.
And if so, I promise to never, ever, ever again say anything good about JavaScript again to Marc (well for at least a day or two). I also promise to say nothing but delightful accolades in regards to VB.NET to Chris (for at least a day or two). And of course for Gary, I'll go so far as to say bicycles are better than motorcycles (for an hour or two). And well, I don't really know OriginalGriff, but as a bonus I'll go upvote his articles or something.
Positive vibes... positive juju... let's put it out there folks.

 I'm actually liking Javascript a bit more nowadays since I've decided to ditch all the bad practices I see everywhere and replace them with one practice to rule them all: write SMALL functions! The other "rings", like DRY, etc., fall nicely into place then.
Positive juju being sent!

Exactly. Keep your functions pure. JavaScript is hell at first, but at its heart is more functional than object oriented. So, it's way different. If you get a chance to start playing with ES6 at least, it'll feel a bit more like C# at least.
You know you've been sucked into the JavaScript b0rg when you start actually liking K&R style in C# when writing out an anonymous function. By that point its too late. All resistance is futile. You are now one of us.

Btw, just wait until you get into CSS 3/4 features, such as transitions and animation. I put this together as an Easter Egg in a project for Fox a couple days ago...
https://jeremyfalcon.com/logan/[^]
The app was a movie rating system to track ratings, etc. You could view the trailer for the movies in it too. But as an Easter Egg, when you watched the trailer for the movie Logan, it showed that instead of the actual trailer, in a movie-like overlay window.
View the source, barely any JavaScript was used... only enough to disable right click since it's supposed to show like a movie in the app and to preload the multimedia files.

That (and your site) is seriously impressive!

You can have all the positive juju I can provide, without having to upvote anything of mine.
Good luck - I'm rooting for you!

Your post sounds like you would love to go for it, but arent sure. Best is to talk about with family or buddies. They often feel what is right for you.
My opinion: "Go for it and take the chance" 
Press F1 for help or google it.

Oh I'm positive I'd go for it. I'd be talking directly to the business sponsors again, which is where I belong.
Thanks for the reply man.

Waiting for them to call me back on Friday. Unfortunately I have two interviews to prep for over the next two days and so Friday is as soon as we/I could get the time. But, I'd take this job over those other two without a second thought. Just gotta keep me word on promising to show up somewhere.
