Thanks for sharing your story. From my perspective, it is always intimidating. Even after more than 20 years of work and more process that I could count, I am always nervous because it is exciting everytime.It is always related to new ways of life, new paygrades and so on...

I'll be entering an Skype interview in a few minutes (if the interviewer shows up) and because of that I felt the will to come here and comment.

Congrats and good luck!

With Skype I'm mostly worried about how they cannot interpret my body language at the time. Also network reliability, for some reason this makes it more scary. Although I just asked for a Skype interview with some other firm as an alternative for traveling 350 miles just for one.

Yes, these are a problems as well. Here in Brazil we prefer Skype for at least the first calls to avoid deslocations on early process.
