All offers on the table

Finally had one of the most honest conversations I've had in awhile with one of bosses from Meridian, about my intentions next year, what I am feeling/my offer/where I am at the moment.

I guess I was expecting a bit more of a "here is your offer with us, take it or leave it" but it wasn't like that at all.

They were very open about letting me do what I want, literally whatever I want.

I can come back to work after exams - I can not.

I can take up a job full time/career - or I can not.

I can work when I want, for what I want.

It is borderline ridiculous.

It was a weight off my shoulders though. Especially after the roster stress of the last few weeks, now I can relax and know the next term isn't going to be as bad as I was thinking.

Plus I might actually be able to save some substantial money! Which also would be lovely.

I still need to talk to the big boss.

The one who informs me that taking the offer at PwC is not a good idea, that I should hold out for Deloitte.

But what if I am holding out forever?

I guess it is worth discussing it with him, and maybe it will be a coffee date with somebody from Deloitte. I think I have more of a respect for PwC though than I have given credit for up until now. They were willing to take such a big chance on me, and  I want to help them move into a league I know they want to go, to grow and be a leading player.

It could be really exciting to be a part of that.

Or maybe I'm just naive?

But I guess I am young enough to make the wrong decisions. This is the time to make the wrong decisions, but to make them for the right reasons.

I have this gut feeling that next year could be great. The beginning of the rest of my life, so to speak. And a part of me, quite a big part, wants that to be with PwC, and there needs to be some hard selling done to change my mind...
