Had a great job interview the other day. The team was awesome, the platform for career growth was tremendous, the name recognition would have been huge...
But I talked myself out of it...during the interviews, no less.
The culture requires that folks be in the office from 9-6 each workday (or most).
I get that and see why it is critical, but I couldn't see myself doing it.
It would have required a 7am wakeup, a 7.45am departure and a 7pm-ish return.
I made a potentially career-limiting decision.
I told them I didn't think I could do it.
My kids are only young once.
Even if I take 20 minutes to go get Paco or Tonka from school....Or give the NFO a break by holding Gianni, for me, right now, that's where I want to be.
The technology I love so much enables it, so I may as well do it.
I may look back at this decision later and regret it.
Doubt it.
