Didnt blog for a damn long time. was busy with projects, schoolwork, as well as job interviews...
i have just rejected a job offer from a company offering me rather enticing renumeration and benefits, as well as my high interest level in the job scope offered. it was and is still a hard decision. but i eventually made the decision after considerations of time and principles.
I still got up till December this year to explore my possible career paths and options, and it would probably be too premature to accept a job offer now, because i believe within the next half a year, my thoughts about my future career would continue to change.
Although i could have accept the job offer and continue to explore my options and go for job interviews behind their back, i chose not to. because i believe in karma. it just doesnt feel right for me to do so.
Though i feel some pain after the rejection of the job offer, i believe that it should be a smart decision. It would be only fair to the company and the other applicants if i reapply for the job should i eventually decide to comply with my interest level in this job.
While i still have some job interviews going on, i guess that i would also have to reject them under normal circumstances, should i get an offer from them. Cuz i didnt manage to explore my options more thoroughly and i do not wish to shortchange myself so to speak.
Moving on, i shall be more pro-active in my job applications and career planning in the next half of the year. Only then, when i get an offer, i would be able to safely accept the offer without regrets.
