Months ago, I accepted an offer at a top notch company then my current company counter offered that matched the new offer’s base and I was already having anxiety about the new job so I chose to stay for the work life balance as I know I’ll be quite busy with the new job and don’t think the bonus is worth it.
But now I’m regretting it big time. One reasons is that I feel like I closed a door to a job with many career advancement opportunities. Another is my current job seems to get busier more and more.
Ps. How do I overcome this huge anxiety for a new job that i was excited about when i was interviewing? I started to overthink things like what if I lash out during meetings etc. all these anxiety made me feel like the safest thing is to stay.
