    Did I Do The Right Thing?

    Okay guys. Here's the deal:

    I work at the headquarters of a major retailer in the area. I had an development plan meeting with my director a few weeks ago and told them that I would like to transition into a financial analyst role. So now, there's a new position open (Sr. SEC Reporting Analyst) that I was called in by the director to interview for. All of my interviews went great and now the decision lies between me and a financial analyst in another department. We are both due for a promotion. Also note that I am a property accountant and analysts make more.

    So their pitch to me was that they wanted me to take the financial analyst's position (which would pay more than I currently make) and have the current analyst take on the new role. So, they called me in this afternoon and asked for my thoughts about everything. I reiterated that I really wanted the new role, so that kind of threw a wrench in they're plans for promoting both of us (If I got the SEC position, then the analyst couldn't get promoted, however, either way it would be a promotion for me).

    They were supposed to give me an answer today before I leave the country on vacation. However, due to me saying that I wanted the SEC role, they decided that they would take next week to think about it and have an answer for me when I return next Friday. Should I have just taken the financial analyst role, or did I do the right thing by being honest about what I wanted?

    I am a nervous wreck right now because I don't wanna end up screwing myself out of two opportunities. So much for a clear head during my vacation. LOL. I appreciate your feedback fellas. God bless.

      Closed mouths don't get fed.

      You did the right thing. When you take off on that airplane...leave all your concerns about the job right there on the runway. Enjoy your vacation and don't think about it while your gone. It's out of your hands...let them deal with it.

      Safe travels.

        You did the right thing. Sometimes you have to go out on limb to get to where you want to go. I think the fact they are taking a bit longer to think about it is a good thing. They must like you otherwise they could have said take it or leave it. Go enjoy your vacation and everything will work out like its supposed to.

          You wanted the job, and you made it known. Nothing wrong with that.

              People are dumb. So you did whatever you felt you had to do and that was that.

              Nothing else matters.

                Absolutely. You spoke up for want you wanted, and you showed ambition. Never a bad thing.

                  Thanks, fellas. I've been able to let it go (it's obviously out of my hands) and enjoy myself out here.
