More job hunting

I turned down a position this morning.

It is a good opportunity to gain global exposure and offers plenty of networking opportunities in the finance and banking sector. The structure is very performance driven and offers international transfer opportunities for anyone who can perform.

It seems like a good opportunity. I turned it down because I did not feel entirely comfortable with the environment and people. This may seem like a silly reason. When contemplating my decision, I keep having a nagging feeling that this is not an environment I want to work in. The other factor that seals my decision was the consideration that the actual job scope does not value add to my experience if I consider it without the global exposure element. 

I called the manager to convey my decision. After putting down the phone, I was even more convinced that my decision was a right one.

I ran into another department’s head after work yesterday. He kindly offered me a ride home. I learnt that he is looking to expand his team and he is willing to train someone from scratch. It strikes me that this could be a good entry point for me but I am hesitant due a variety of factors. Giving it more thoughts.

Meanwhile, another interview tomorrow.

Seems like I am functioning again. This is good.
