I just passed on a tech job offer. It's not a bad job and I would have been good at it, too, but its just not what I want to do.

will I regret this after my other applications fall through? Yeah. I would also regret it if I had to work 40 hours a week doing that job.

I know lots of people working jobs they hate, so what am I doing turning a good one down, right?

Man. I don't know. i followed my instinct on that one. My instinct is fallible as fuck

    If you had a bad feeling about it before you even started there then there's a 99% chance that you were going to hate it if you took the job.

    That's exactly what I was feeling. There's a chance I wouldn't hate it because I never had a job exactly like it, but I can't even look forward to it. (I'm obfuscating details here) I have experience in both hardware and software/firmware domains, but my interest is mostly on the hardware side and this job is almost pure software. I can do it, but sicko-wistful
