So I turned down a job offer a couple weeks ago, though I'm having second thoughts. The attorney is quite amicable, very knowledgeable, and I'd have full time hours at about $75-100/hour.
My current job allows me a lot of flexibility - I get to work on my own set of hours, I get to work at my own pace, and I get to stay at home - no commute, but I make less money per hour and I work fewer hours.
I'm not sure how I should handle this - maybe I should call the attorney who I'd turned down to see if he might have a spot for me part time a couple days a week, or maybe I should give up on the job I'm doing currently, or maybe I should continue doing what I'm doing, or I should switch jobs altogether and move to the new firm, which would give us the financial means for my wife to leave her job to find a new one if she wanted, closer to home...
So many options...how to choose?
ReplyDeleteI don't have the answer, but it's awesome that you have options! What is the other position? Would it present more of a challenge or professional growth? Working from home has advantages, but there's also something to be said by having a reason to put on pants everyday.
ReplyDeleteSorry we haven't talked in a while. What did you decide?
ReplyDeleteSTCL Alumni Happy Hour this Thursday. I still don't know if I can attend. I am speaking at a small HBA conference on Friday and I still haven't written my paper, prepared the powerpoint slides, or even determined what exactly I'm speaking about. Should be a fun week ahead.
