I was asked to apply for a newly opened job post this afternoon, which means, the powers that be have already discussed who might be best suited to the position. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
I am golden where I am, but there really isn't anywhere up for me to go. I would be moving from autonomy to supervisory. Supervisory in a place where I would have quit long ago had I not been transferred out. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Boss of me to boss of 16. Exchanging a private office in the outpatient clinic for a cubicle in the centralized office for inpatient coding. Exchanging a limited job for one that could be a stepping stone to a higher managerial position. Exchanging specialization for a more rounding out of my experiences. Exchanging a good working rapport with a staff that already holds me in high esteem for a higher salary and upward mobility. Exchanging a certain present for a possible future. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
I haven't figured out yet whether I am trying to talk myself into it or if I am trying to talk myself out of it.
This going to take some serious thought.
