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
I had a similar thought as Awoo, just take the job with the intent of ghosting but since you already said no:
Working at a place you hate to make a barely perceptible (or even kinda nice) amount more on your paycheque isn't worth the soul crushing dread of waking up and crying before you leave for work, using all of your willpower to stand up and go. Good call, if you have the means, waiting for something that might not make you want to die
