In Reply To: Yes, everyone told me: just listen to your heart. The truth is my heart is not always singing the same tone. They called me about their new development and future engagement. Everyone I talked to were pretty confident, while looking at their financials is disapointing. They just withdrew their ipo for low market. If a job is just a job why we spend weekend night on such a job board rather than sports or music? I would talk to them straight tomrrow, then maybe flip a quarter or sth. Good night!
Message: Don't look for job advice from an anonymous message board. I am a seasoned consultant. but you do realize that a lot of posters are just kids messing around people seeking advice, right? Look, if you're going to be a future leader, you'll have to learn how to draw on two things: 1. Your own beliefs, instincts, guts, heart. Some business decision are made this way, trust me. BUT, 2. Many are made from pure weighing of risks. There are pros and cons to every situation. You sound like a smart kid, go with what you believe. You're young, there's no such things as a bad move. No matter what you do in your life at this stage in your career, you won't regret later. You have too much ahead of you.
