I have come to a crossroad in my life where only one thing is certain - I need a change. Without a doubt before the end of the year I will be living in a new place. That change will happen for sure however, at the moment I have another decision to make. Where/When will this change take place?
I have been unhappy in my job for quite some time now as all of you must know. In the past two months I have uploaded my resume to a few websites and actually got solicited by a BIG TIME COMPANY for a job. In the same week I had an interview with the HR person at BTC, I also met with a former boss for a position at one of my client's company. Here is where my dilemma exists. BTC vs. MCC
On one side I "have" the job at MCC - a dead end no hassle cake walk of a job for the same money and benefits I get now. However (and this is the big downside) this job is located in a small town 3 hours from NYC in another state up north. I went to visit this town last week to see if it appealed to me and if in fact I can make this work. Despite the big sell I got from almost everyone I talked to I didn't feel the town called to me. It didn't have the same appeal like San Francisco or Denver (possibly because it was a small town and not a major city). Growing up in New York has really spoiled me and although I CAN live with bars closing at 1am or stores not being open 24/7 I really think I would miss the ease of getting around town without a drivers license (let alone a car). I would miss my dear friends and most importantly I would miss Dok Suni and NWP. I was basically offered "unofficially" the job at MCC but I think that if I were to make a huge move like this to another town it had better be for a bucket load of money and a town with a damn good transportation system.
On the other side I currently dream of working at BTC. The HR guy from BTC seemed really nice and I just hope the interview went well even though I think I might have talked too much or rambled to fast about nothing important all (kind of like what I am doing now). I am not very good on selling myself (I'm just not cut out for it). Oh and within the week of my interview I saw another opening at BTC which is even more perfect for me. I applied for it through the BTC website, with a follow up to the HR guy. I do hope I get a call back for one of those jobs (more so the 2nd one). The big draw to BTC is an instant 4 week vacation, great opportunity to grow and great benefits. If there is any good in the world BTC will contact me and offer me a job soon.
So I guess I have already made my decision. I must stay at my crappy job and be miserable all the while saving more money to buy a place of my own. Let's not forget waiting out for BTC to come around and eventually hire me. I mean there really is no point to leave my crappy job and go to MCC just for the sake of change when I will only be alone and miserable after a few months. RIGHT?
