Continued

iRis said that my last post ended weird..

well, while i was typing that halfway, i decided i wasnt going to waste the last day of the holiday staring at the computer all day so i decided to go shopping.. i went to bathe and dressed up and waited for my dad to come back so that i can take the car. Jus as i was about to leave the house, my boss called me and asked if i could be back in the office in an hr.. SIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH... i ended up working till 2am on tuesday night. ... no dinner some more.. bleah..

Anyway, to continue my story..

so i was in a dilemma... both were analyst positions.. one was a big company in a field i was familiar with while the other was an unknown (to me) company in an entire;y different field from what i studied. both bosses seemed nice. i know the pay for the first guy (not high) but i didnt know what the latter would pay me. i was quite inclined to take a risk and go for the latter but i tot scully i gave up the first one then scully the second one come back from New york then decide that he doesnt want me then how???

i decided that i wanted to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond.. i decided that the latter seemed like a more fun job.. so i waited lor.. i told the first dude that i got another offer n thanked him. then i called new york to tell him i'll wait for him.

I have no idea what's the moral of the story really. Maybe it's to go with your heart and your interest and hope that things work out.

my boss told me almost one year later why they liked me:

firstly, he liked that i said that it excited me to write reports and run numbers. he said no one ever said that.

he said he and his colleague knew that i didnt know wat was going on cos it was an entirely new field to me but i appeared like i knew what they were talking abt. He said that was a hallmark of a consultant. Dont know but appear to know.

no idea if he was joking or not.
