It is a heady feeling to get a phone call from someone saying “I want you to come work for me.”
Since i got the call, i’ve been trying to evaluate my current job and my level of happiness. I’m also trying to guage the other job and my potential level of happiness there.
It’s impossible to know for sure. I’ve been clinging to the comfort and familiarity of my current job, but when i sat down and did a Pros/Cons list, i’m not sure why i’m clinging to it so tightly. On the really bad days, which are relatively few, but still exist, life SUCKS. The bad days are the worst work days i’ve had. Why am i clinging to that?
I am somewhat afraid of the change. But i think it’s time to embrace it and take a chance on an exciting opportunity.

My unsolicited advice: Which opportunity will you regret? There’s a reason that feeling occurs. Take that opportunity.

second. there’s no avoiding risk, and opportunity risk is the biggest (and most ignored) of them all.
