Took another job and rejected AWS offer a few days ago...feeling a bit of anxiety about having done so.

If you scan my previous posts you would see I just took an offer from a small - midsize company cloud solutions provider to be a DevOps Engineer and rejected an L5 AWS systems engineer offer.

By all accounts the cloud company has better pay, benefits, no on-call, better WLB, etc and that's all important considering Akamai treated me well and I have a family and stuff. I told AWS on Friday I wouldn't be taking the job. I'm starting to feel a bit of remorse and am wondering if I possibly squandered a really good opportunity. Feeling like I've made a decision that could hinder my ultimate goal of becoming a SDE.
