twist of fate
she received a call from an previous interviewer two days ago. it was a pleasant surprise cos she hadn't expected to hear from him since they made the decision to hire someone more "experienced" (in the PR jobscope) last october. anyhow, she went down to meet them again on wednesday just to catch up and see what they have on the plate this time. apparently, the previous candidate has tendered due to some unfortunate health reasons and the firm is looking for a new hire. it was sweet to hear that they remembered her from six months ago and basically made an offer to her straight up this time. the job scope given was fantastic, what made the deal sweeter were the additional perks of being involved in something she's been increasingly passionate about over the past two years. the only big hurdle standing on both sides now is the money. due to the industry salary norms, what monetary they can offer is well below her current paycheck. she's willing to settle not getting a pay raise, but is she ready for a paycut when she's close to hitting the big thirty?she knows she's given this rare opportunity for a good reason. she's done all she can so now she waits. hopefully, someone up there will guide her in making the right choices now.

i say don't settle for anything less!
they should at least match what you're earning now.......

such a tough decision!
i know money is a big factor in this practical world, but sometimes having that job satisfaction and doing something you want could be so much better than monetary value.
however, i wish you all the best in whatever decision you choose :)
