Decision Made

Oh yes... decision has been made.... well, somehow, this decision is not able ttc-ing... it's about my new job... i was going to start on my new job today...however on friday, i got a phonecall & the probability of getting an interview for a better position in a well-known MNC... all of sudden, this aussie company that i was about to join seems  so .......

i've asked a good friend who used to work in that MNC, about the company culture.... and she told me.... V GOOD!!! Well, that is what i'm looking for...a v good company culture... and thanks to this friend & her advice (she sms me even when she's overseas!!!), i had a discussion with my family... hubby all along didn't want me to take up the job at this aussie company cos of a 20% paycut.... he told me that i am not in need of $$$$$ cos he can still managed... cos all along, I was worry that hubby might not be able to cope with my expense plus my studies (yes, hubby is paying for my CPA studies) ... but he assured me that he is doing fine with the expenses.... and he told me... if i managed to get the job at this well-known MNC, it will be a greater aid to my career... which i totally agreed... cos it's a job that i'm comfortable with...at the aussie company, i'm actually taking a lower level job...more like accounts clerk job...  so hubby was not comfortable with me going so much lower....

my friend told me to follow my gut feeling... and to her, it's really downgrading myself to take up the aussie company job....and her advice is, dun take it.... even my dad, who seldom comment about the jobs that i take up , commented that i'm committing career suicide if i join the aussie company... at first, he didn't know that it will be at a 20% paycut... and the job scope is at a lower level.... after he knows about it, he told me... it's best not to take up...

So after hearing opinions from sooooooooo many parties, I've decided not to take up the job offer.... and decided to wait a while more for my ideal job... after all, i still love financial modelling, love being a financial analyst, love budgeting, love forecasting.... so why should i go and become an accounts clerk, doing data entry & AR roles???

I know that it was at my lowest point in life that I've decided to take up this job.... but hey, if i can't have kids, it doesn't mean i have to commit career suicide right??? OK.... so i'll be looking out for management accounting roles/ financial analyst roles instead... SO any lobang, remember ME!!!
