Is this the right thing to do? Hope so.

I booked my hotel in San Diego earlier tonight. I have spent the last few days trying to figure out where to stay and for how long. I'm starting with 8 days in San Diego and I already have an interview the 2nd day I'm there. I think the company will offer me some contract work which depending how long it takes I may do it. The craigslist ad they posted was for 25-30 hours a week of work. It's a small shop and that to me like I may be regressing in my career. They don't want me to do project management but instead were "more impressed with my programming skills". I am not a programmer, so I am curious why they think I am. Their website isn't too bad, but they probably just hired a flash guy to knock out something quick. I noticed they haven't touched their blog they link to from their site. Not good.

So, I'm worried. Am I making the right decision? I want to believe that I am. This will make the third time that I've been to San Diego in the last 5 years. I interviewed for jobs but was not offered the position before.

I have 8 days in San Diego. If nothing substantial happens in that time I may continue on North to LA and then to SF.
