The package was good and the company was great, but the position demanded skills I don’t fully possess yet. I politely rejected the offer, explaining that I am not ready to deliver at that level right now,” Mali wrote in an X post.Responding to comments, Mali explained that his decision was based on the expectations that come with such roles. “When we have a high-paying job then we have high expectations from leadership. And we can’t take much time to learn it. I thought it a little risky to accept,” he said.He added that while skills can be learned on the job, failing to deliver at that level could be risky both for him and the organisation. “When someone pays huge money and if we don’t deliver at that level then it may become a risk for us. And may be inconvenience for the organization. Though yes I agree that skills can be learned on the job,” he said.(Also Read:
