My Baby or My Dream Job?
I'm about to say something that many people never get to say sincerely in their lifetimes, but not me because I can truly say - I love my job! Well, I did love my job (The one I had before). There was a time that I used to have this job where I would work from Monday to Friday and rest or party during weekend. I was a Senior Retention support manager at a very popular Call center company in Clark before, and work never felt like work to me. It was fun with awesome people where we can sing and dance, where we can drink while working, laughing all the time and our Bosses kept cracking jokes to lighten the mood. Also I was living my passion every day. I loved the challenge, and the job was stable. I had hit the Dream career jackpot. I've had jobs before that where I loved the work but disliked the atmosphere and I've had jobs where the work didn't quite cut it but the atmosphere was fantastic, then this job where I’ve had the best good mix of both. The work was enjoyable and challenging enough to stay interesting, while the atmosphere is really what kept everyone going. I couldn't imagined leaving that job but I lost it in a snap and now I already have the chance to get that dream job back but It's somewhere far away. After few years, I didn’t expected that I would have this opportunity again, but perhaps the signs were there. So I’m struggling now with the decision between chasing my Dream in Europe or staying here with my Baby, actually most moms I talked with considered what would be best for the Baby. But I have to consider what's best for me, too, I thought. I've worked my ass off for years for this. I had to admit that having a newborn was a shock to my system. I went through a lot of tears and dark days. But It was indeed a great feeling to be with your Baby from day one... But who gives up a job they Dream about???? That’s where I got stuck, but a bit thanks to this Pandemic it buys me some time to think while I am enjoying my moment with my daughter. Well, I couldn't have it all.. Therefore I had to choose one, between my daughter and my Dream job....
