What to do?! what to do?!
I received an email yesterday it said: "URGENT - call me" it was from a good contact/friend/former colleague, I met her while I was working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she has an amazing story... which at the end, why we converged was that she had been part of AIESEC Kenya's BOA or something like it. But she is salvadorean.
She was promoted to Director of Economic Promotion of El Salvador with Europe. Brand new area, she needs to put it together and she called me to apply to a post there...
Job description? - no idea
Money? - no idea (definitely more that what I earn here)
Bonus, vacations, insurance, extra stuff? - no idea
Then why was I even considering it? I love the field... International Relations, Political Science... I love it!!!
What's the problem? I have adapted, I have created a comfort zone which is not allowing me to face change, not right now... it screams to me "NOOOO.... its too soon!!!"
I would lose my cheap tickets, I would lose the spare days of vacation at any given time of the year (in the government you have 1 month vacations, but they are fixed dates)...
I wouldn't be able to meet my colleague MCPs in Egypt next year, or attend the oh so many weddings I have planned... I would have to wait for another entire year to get a good christmas bonus...
I am definitely inside a comfort zone... and its not as simple as saying... screw it... not anymore... and I don't know why... and my mind keeps going on from the words "Passion" to the words "Stability" and its screwing my peace of mind...
And I have to decide before tomorrow. What to do?
