I just passed on a tech job offer. It's not a bad job and I would have been good at it, too, but its just not what I want to do.

will I regret this after my other applications fall through? Yeah. I would also regret it if I had to work 40 hours a week doing that job.

I know lots of people working jobs they hate, so what am I doing turning a good one down, right?

Man. I don't know. i followed my instinct on that one. My instinct is fallible as fuck

If you don't have to relocate for the job take it then quit it if the others don't fall through. Do not feel bad about doing this. They would not feel bad about doing it to you.

That's right. I had considered this angle but just couldn't pull the trigger on it. Next time absolutely.
