I was scheduled for an interview with Company E. Ironically. it was on my first day of work at Company K.
On the day of my Convocation, and Company G came knocking on my life. I had an interview with Company G.
Company G and E pay higher than K and I was determine to leave Company K. And both of them offer very very attractive incentives.
In fact, Company G ranked top 5 in Fortune's Best Companies to work for in US. I'll be able to be train and experience life in US with my university friends for a year !! One Whole Year! What's more, all my allowances will be paid for. I was sure I'm going to enjoy my time in US and was ready to sign the contract for Company G.
Time passed by. I consulted frens, families, uni professors for advice. However, practically everyone told me Company E was a better option. They believed the field company E is in promises better prospects and job security. If I go for Company G, I have to be bonded to Singapore for 2 years, which means I cannot further my studies in total 3 years' time.
Should I just going miss all the fun that I should have in the US? It's only a year. I can always further my studies after 3 years. But do I want to futher my studies??
Time passed by, and deep down inside I, myself. know that I cannot let go any one of the 2 offers. The opportunity cost is too great. Sometimes I just feel like signing Companies G's contract but after a few days I feel like signing companies E's and the whole cycle went on and on for days. it's really taking a toll on me. I was confused, and still am, and I do not know what I really want. I hope fate will help me decide.
And today, today is the deadline of the offer by company G. Believe it or not, it was the very same hour that I was just inform by Company E that I had cleared medical and background checks and they are ready for me to report to work.
But I still cant let it (Company G) go. I'll think about it and it really makes me feel sad.
