Job Offer

I got offered the job for which I interviewed last week. I turned it down. What a tough decision! The move is the big thing that got me down. They didn't even want to help with moving expenses which would cost $3000-$4000. I would probably also have to take a loss on my condo. I could do it, but would it be worth it to uproot myself for a big unknown?

Career-wise it would be a good move. I can't deny that. Would I have been happy doing that work though? I'm not too sure.

The director kind of turned me off. He would only give me 24 hours to decide. This is a huge decision. What's the rush? I called him this morning, but he wasn't in so I sent him an email. I outlined my reasons for not wanting the job as mainly monetary. I guess I want to see if they'll make any counter-offer. Am I adequate, but not worth fighting for? I want to show, I suppose, that I'm not desperate.

So far I haven't heard back from him, so I guess there's no deal. Fin d'histoire.
