I just passed on a tech job offer. It’s not a bad job and I would have been good at it, too, but its just not what I want to do.
will I regret this after my other applications fall through? Yeah. I would also regret it if I had to work 40 hours a week doing that job.
I know lots of people working jobs they hate, so what am I doing turning a good one down, right?
Man. I don’t know. i followed my instinct on that one. My instinct is fallible as fuck
Like you say, these are no-win situations. Sometimes, being void of money is better than going through a torturous hell 40+ hours a week, it’s a shit choice, but it can absolutely be the right one.
