The path not chosen.



Been months since I have really sat down in front of my laptop and going for career fairs in search of my very first job.. Talking about stepping into the new chapter of my life from the previous chapter isn't just an overnight thing eh. Why so? Mainly because of the 'transition period' was slightly longer than my initial expectation. At first my ideal plan was to actually get myself a job BEFORE my convocation, which will be this coming Saturday, however that didn't really turn out to be the way I wanted..
 
Just when I thought it will be long after my convo before I finally found a job, miracle happened! :D MiracleS to be exact.. The thing is, I got myself an offer from company A which took them just less than 24 hours to respond. On the other hand, company B, which I had been waiting for one and a half month for their reply finally called me up on that very day before that offer company A was given to me and asked me if I would like to attend their second stage of interview (followed by the third one).


I have always hoped to get the offer from company B given with the job position provided, however, there is no guarantee that I would get the deal done after the second interview! (not to mention, the third one leh?!) On the other note, company A that offered a less favored job position, actually got better remuneration benefit and it is sooooo near to my current staying place! No doubt company B might and SHOULD be giving me more opportunity to learn and even grow. But after much advise from the experienced one, company A was the preferred choice and I myself is very much attracted to it after weighing on the pros and cons of both companies.


Oh well, hopefully there will not be this one day that I actually sit down and wonder on why didn't I take the other option instead...
