So I was headhunted on LinkedIn for a very similar job to what I do now but for a completely different Industry, the salary increase wasn't huge but seemed a great company to work for and various other perks got good reviews on glass door etc.I accepted but got cold feet and turned it down, main reason being is I have been at my current job 11 years and I'm quite well respected and never had any issues whilst being there , also they are not the kind of companies to make redundancies often but on the 2 occasions since I've been there (and colleagues who have been there longer has said it's never happened much before) there were redundancies (a very small percent of workforce, and a lot volunteered) and from what I was told by a friend the payouts are rather generous, which gives a great deal of security in this day and age that even if things did go a bit pete tong at least you are looked after.
But with employment laws of being able to let staff go before 2 years etc, my fear was if I took the job and that was to happen I could lose everything.
I know I've made the right decision but can't help feel sorry for myself as it did sound exciting, which is annoying as a week ago I wasn't even giving it a seconds thought
Be nice to me and tell me I've done the right thing lol
Gut feelings etc etc and if it ain't broke dont fix it
