Consider this question as if you were offered a promotion at your current job/field.

I’m really back and forth about this. On one hand, if you take every job opportunity, you could fail it, then get fired. Or demoted. There was a phrase I heard once about if you keep getting promoted over and over, sooner or later you’ll get to a spot you can’t do. Then the company fires you.

But on the other hand, if you carefully weigh your options and you choose not to accept the promotion, it might look bad in the companies eyes. And they might not consider you again.

What do you do? And why?
