Jobs jobs jobs...

There are people who tell me that they accepted this attractive offer from this attractive consulting firm because they did not really have anything else after 5 days of job search and they prefer not to spend the time looking.
There are people that tell me that they really wanted to change sector but this would mean waiting for a job for a long time because it is more difficult and so in the end, they will return to their old employer because it is easier
There are people who tell me that they are starting their company
There are people going to Korea
There are people going to Siberia
There are people going to London, there are many many many people going to London in fact
There are people who are willing to take the time to try to change sectors
There are people who are making plans about a new geography without knowing if they got that job offer
There are people lost in thoughts about what they really want to do with their life
There are people who are embracing a new career, people who are switching wives, geographies and sectors, people who are sticking to the old ways, just better armed.

We are all at an important crossroads. Everyone of us can decide to turn right, left or continue straight. Few of us will want to reverse.

I have met a lot of very anxious people - people I care deeply about.

To these people, I want to say this: life is uncertain by definition and will remain so. The most important decisions of our existence will be taken with very little information. Intuition plays a big part. You can choose to worry about your future or be relaxed about it. It won't change your future but it might spoil your last days at Insead. Take the time - if you can afford it - to discuss with your friends, to discuss with your family, to look at yourself. Take a job that you fancy, in a geography that you will like. Take the time. You have dedicated one year of your life to this change. Negotiate the turn with care - and enthusiasm!
You are contemplating a choice that face rich and fortunate people. Do not forget this. Why being stressed about whether you should turn left for the champagne aisle or right toward the Foie Gras when you shop around?
Look at your search like you looked at your MBA: an investment. Finance it as you can and like your MBA throw yourself into it, enjoy it until the last bit. It is well worth it if you attach some importance to your career. Will you take the first offer that comes your way even though it does not correspond at all to what you want to do just because it is the first offer?
if you are running out of cash and must look after a family, take a job but don't like at it as if it was a fatality. Life changes. Trust that you will be led to the right path for you.

Above all, onward and forward.

Look up, life will smile at you. Days have a habit of being good for those who know where to look for goodness.

And just in case this helps at all, I am still a rootless homeless jobless insanely happy MBA participant.
