turned down my dream job
That’s so sad to hear. But also, it made me think about the Buddhist quote “nothing to attain.” In other words, there is no perfect job. For some people, the best job they ever had are the ones with the worst tech, worst subject, worst office but that has the funniest coworkers. I hope you’ll be able to find a job that gives you satisfaction— in fact, I’m confident that you will! :) It just might take time. I hated my job for the first 6 years... and now I like it so much that I blog about it! Haha. It just took that long to gain confidence in my skills and an employer who supported me enough to allow me to excel.
I've been beating myself up for days about how stupid I've been and how many poor decisions I have made
We’ve all been there. You’re not alone. I can’t tell you how many jobs I forgot to ask about a signing bonus for and then found out from friends later that they all got bonuses. Live and learn, right?
The best news is that you and I are on our path to making less mistakes. Best of luck friend! :)
