Learning by Experience 53

In the second summer of my duty at Asel, changes began to occur at the top level of the company. Like many leaders I love dearly, my manager, whom I report directly to, has decided to leave.
All of my relatives moved to another city at once and I had an arabesque feeling as if I was alone in this city😀 It turns out how important ties we have established over the years… Of course, we started to work quickly and very effectively with newcomers as well. However, for the first time, I am not actually the fixture of this company😀 I started to think about the possibility of another company.

When my sister and mother came to visit me in the winter of 2017, they asked me when I would come to Istanbul. Under normal circumstances, the answer was "never", but I gave a rounded answer😊 The next day, the clear answer to this question is clear and I walked into the office thinking if I want to spend my life with this answer. As soon as I sat down at my desk, I got a call from Istanbul, a company wanted to talk to me🙄 A company that I follow closely and like very much!
I, who always make a great effort to understand the language of life, came to the conclusion that this was not a coincidence and accepted the interview.
The decision phase was never easy… On the one hand; life in a very beautiful and comfortable country in every sense, a better current situation in terms of career and package and the company you have worked for 16 years, you know that you will always have great options🙄
On the other hand; It was about catching a brand new excitement with a very bright company, returning to the magical city where you have family and friends, although it is a bit difficult to live, and taking on a task where there is a very high probability of making a serious difference thanks to your past experience.

While I was thinking about the details in this way, I made the final decision with emotions. For this I did as follows;
If I rejected this offer, I visualized myself after my decision: I didn't like that version of myself😀 I accepted the job by surprising even myself under these conditions👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We gathered our things to move to Istanbul in the summer of 2017😊…

Do you think it was a good decision or a bad decision? Now that 4.5 years have passed, it is more possible to evaluate it… We will come there too .
