It’s nice, and a little unusual, to be going to an interview where you know they really want you, but I’m not sure if I really want them.

They seem to have a nice product, and a well reviewed company, checking all the boxes, from what I could gather on Glassdoor, moderately more money, but the role is to work with sales people and to be one myself but I hate hate having to sell something.

Our current system is maddeningly frustratingly designed, and I no longer have any illusions to be able to make any significant change – resistance will come all the way from the top, but my boss is as perfect as a boss can be, I like everyone I work with, the work-life balance is probably as good as anything possible in this country, and they let me be and do whatever I want and the stress level is low.

The irony of ironies is that in my current job they just offered me to become a product manager for this unmanageable and poorly-designed from the start product, product is something I wanted to do long ago, but I know enough about product management to see how in this instance that’s a recipe for way more frustration than I can handle.

I also hate myself going to that interview for being disloyal.
