Great work writing this up and putting it out there for feedback! I think it’s always difficult to give much of a view as an outsider, but it sounds to me like you’ve been feeling insecure for a while due to lack of savings, and so taking a paying job sounds like a good idea. It seems like you’re not actually keen on doing a masters, and it doesn’t seem obvious you need one to do what you’re aiming for. So deciding against doing one sounds very reasonable to me. Both your options sound good though!
Thank you so much Michelle, this reflection is really useful. It feels like a reflection of what I already know, and yet having it reflected back from the outside is very helpful, makes it feel more real and clear somehow. Much appreciated!!
