I declined a great job offer (awesome package) for an international role (low pay, cool life experience). I’m second guessing it all. Should I reach back out to the company? What do you think? Married with kids.

No. You made your choice for a reason. Try it out and see how it goes.

Your damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you were to switch at this moment, reach out to that job and take it you’re going to just look back at the internal role and wonder if you missed a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Comparison is the thief of joy— assuming you took a lot of thought to take this internal role, I’d say trust your gut, lean into it and fully commit to the new opportunity. You’re hurting your growth in the internal role by thinking about the other job.

That international role may open greater packages down the line. Think of it as an investment imo.

Since you’re not stating something went sideways at the international role, I’d chalk it up to a case of buyers remorse. Let it go.
