One of the most difficult decisions I made in my life was about 15 years ago when I switched my job from a very lucrative private job to a government job in Bangladesh. Many people criticized me for joining the government job, but I thought it was the best decision of my life. I had a private job with a very high salary and facilities for my family, but I believed it was temporary and would not last long. I had to be visionary about my career and switch to a government job for the stability and the pension system. I benefited from this during COVID when all private jobs were closing; my government job kept my salary coming to my bank account. At that time, when I made the decision, it was difficult, but now I am very happy with my choice, and even my husband and children are benefiting from it. I guess every decision should pass through a phase like this, and life-changing decisions should be made thoughtfully.
