Here is how the portal looks like at this point:
As you can see, at the top of the page it counts down days left to the joining date, and that's pretty cool :-)
Even though I was doing all the required medical tests, I filled out the forms & uploaded all the documents, I think I will reject the offer after all... I think I already made the decision, I just cannot admit it to myslef yet..
It is hard, I must say. This great opportunity and I'm gonna let it go, just like that..
But, I think this grown-up part of me became somehow superior to this fun part. Life is all about making choices, and I believe I chose wisely. I think there will be times I'll regret it, thinking to myself 'how would it be out there?' ' what place on earth I would b that specific moment?' My career at the moment is on the right track. At least, I like it where it is. My job is good and I enjoy it. It gives me a lot of opportunities to grow my potential and develop. Maybe this year gap is not significant that much, but it would be pretty stressful for me coming back to work after this period. What is more, there is a chance I will be promoted this year, and if I knew for sure, I wouldn't go to Dubai. I don't know it, but as a professional, I should think myslef as I already got promoted.
I enjoy travelling. A lot. I can save some money and spend it on travels, once a year. This will be my reward for this wise and mature choice :-)
