I got a call from HR at The Hospital. They bumped their previous offer up $2K, which amounts to a total of minus $8K in annual salary and minus $8K for MBA tuition that they won’t help me pay for.
Despite the stupid second (and final, their words) offer, I can’t stop thinking about that job. Great people. Great job. Something different from what I do right now. No chance of working remotely. A brand new niche.
The funny thing is that I haven’t found anybody that agrees with me that I should take the job, if it means taking a pay cut. Everybody has said to forget about it and take The Corporation job. A job is a job, it will get frustrating, it will get dull, and I’ll be left holding the stupid job and the stupid salary forever.
Why am I the only one who romanticizes the situation? I should be able to get a pay cut if it means getting a job I find rewarding, interesting and challenging, right?
I’m so scared of making the wrong choice 🙁
