回复：回复：觉得你说得很有道理

I’m not in the financial services industry and my job is not industry sector dependent. I cannot say that I’m not worried about the increased responsibilities, but I think I’m prepared to take on the challenge. The others around me all told me that they had no doubt that I would be able to do a good job in this position. The VP who referred me to this position told me “I thought that your skills, experience, and keen acumen compliment this position very well. I know you will be very successful here.” I’m flattered by his comments. Quite a few people had told me before that they thought I would be very successful in my life. Even though I have never taken a job seriously and I do not always see myself as good as they feel, I trust their insights. Sometimes I think we need to be more confident about ourselves.

I have worked in jobs that demanded 80 hours a week, they were good for gaining the experience and they do look very good on my resume. But I quit long time ago and would never look forward to going back to that kind of life again. I have been told that this new company is quite a laid-back company and people stay there till they retire. I’m expecting a good work-life balance there after I get established in the new position. The biggest challenge for me is leaving my hu*****and during the week and the frequent travels on the weekends. Luckily if I find I don’t like this job, I can walk out anytime.

Probably the most important reason that I might consider taking this job is that I don’t want to regret for the rest of my life. If things work out, then I’m lucky that I have moved up to another level. If not, I still gain peace in my mind. I have been there, done that and I can move on with my life.
