Thanks
Thank you very much for the wonderful offer.
Unfortunately, complications with my other commitments have forced me to pass up on it. While I could try to do everything by working 18 hours per day, I don’t think that would be good for my health, the people I want to be with and the quality of work that I will be delivering.
As one results-oriented person talking to another, such setup is unacceptable. The risk of lackluster performance from a time-strapped person is something that must be avoided - not solved or worked around.
There are two Fernando Mendizabals in the world of IT, but there is only one Jr. I don’t want to break the tradition and ruin the name game.
As my father told me:
The IT community is such a small world. You’ll keep meeting the same people again and again here and there, sooner or later.
So, don’t burn bridges.
Otherwise, you better be a damn good swimmer.
Hopefully, things turn out for the good and we can get to talk about other opportunities six months down the road.
Thanks for being very supportive, I know I can do this because all of you believe in me.
but in a word, you’re right. it’s a “no.”
