The Career Move that Backfired on Me

Did I ever tell you about the career move that totally backfired on me?

After a lot of deliberation, I’ve decided to talk about it more openly in case it can help someone else not make the same mistake.

It goes like this.

I was really bored at work, looking for a new professional challenge, and found an opportunity unlike anything I’d done before. It came through a sort-of-mentor of mine, someone senior in their career who I’d connected with a few years back. The idea of this job felt like a new window had opened and let in a gust of fresh air.

The job description was a little vague, but I made it through multiple interviews and finally had to put together an interview project presentation.

And that’s when things changed.
