A day in the life of Karen...

for everyone

I never thought someone like me could be pirated by another company. I thought people who are pirated are only the ones who are really good at what they do, assets that other companies are envious to have. Hmm...if I'm being pirated then does that mean that I'm really good? That I'm worth all the troubles and lawsuits the pirating company is willing to face? Hmm...this is really flattering, but at the same time FRIGHTENING because of the non-compete clause in the contract I signed with my current company.

This sneaky company is definitely bigger than the one I'm currently working with. It's multinational as well & is number 1 worldwide in the industry it belongs to - bigger responsibilities as I would be assigned to manage a category in their Southeast Asian marketing cluster, handling 4 Asian markets including the Philippines - bigger and better compensation package too - not to mention the vast experience I would get if I accept this job offer.

But I'm scared...I have grown to love my current company & my heart would be heavy leaving them coz I have already done a lot, implemented a lot of programs and strategic business plans that I am focused on achieving.

But then again, of course I want to grow and should one let good opportunities pass them by? Maybe I'm scared to leave my comfort zone. Maybe I'm so scared that what if I transfer to this new company and I don't excel? What if the new responsibilities will be too much for me to handle?

Sigh...these things are the ones that are holding me back. But as those mice from "Who Moved My Cheese" say...
1) What would you do if you weren't afraid?
2) What you are afraid of is never as bad as what you imagine.

I am definitely still undecided and I only have 2 days to come up with a decision

BAD TRIP!

I was in that same situation before.... and I took that leap over the other fence. It felt good financially, but I missed everyone I used to work with before. *sigh* decisions...... :(

But then again, we won't mature if we won't take such challenges head on. :)

That's what I've been thinking also...I know I need this for growth. But leaving my comfort zone is just terrifying hahaha. I miss being in college and the surreal problems I have. Now all decisions and risks you take will affect your life permanently.

Sigh...making decisions suck =P

Thanks Madz ;)
