yet another sham interview

[gsh]

I found out today that work is going to be advertising for a senior astronomer position, at a level one higher than what I currently am. But I also know they want to hire a dude currently at CalTech. So I get to apply, have a sham interview, then be friendly with the dude when he gets hired. Hard to be mad at him, I've been co-author with him on some papers.

"Okay, who do I need to bribe to put the fix in for me?"

Aww... can you decline to play and not interview?

(and you're an astronomer? Cool!)

Hard to convince the higher ups that I'm serious about wanting a promotion if I don't interview.
