On rejection and disappointment...
I promised myself that I wouldn't stay disappointed for too long, so I think I might just say it here and make that it.
Yesterday, I met with the building's IT manager, and found out that I did not get the job. She cited 2 reasons for her decision:
1) She was worried that, because I am so connected to other departments and programs in the company, I might get bored in a job that doesn't really require too much outside collaboration.
2) She was worried that with her mounting responsibilities, she would not be able to serve as the support structure I needed.
Who she ended up choosing a guy who I greatly admire, has many of my same values, and more management experience as me. I'm not so much upset with that, job went to a good guy. I guess I am just sad because I wanted it.
Everyone keeps telling me that there will be other opportunites, so I guess I'll just keep waiting for the next one.
Just hope I don't burn out here in the meantime.
