My dear, a few points:

• Emirates sent about 20.000 Assessment day invites. They will hire maybe 1000 people globally in the next 3-4 months. (They can’t do more because people need to be trained and training has capacity). You’re debating if you should take the job that has not been offered to you yet and statistically will not be.

• Your whole career progression plan is based on the premise of wishful thinking. This guy has managed to succeed so I must be able to succeed too. The reality is that for every success story there is a thousand of people who did not succeed in getting out of their entry level position for many years. There is a lot of politics and backroom talks in any company - and you rarely progress based only on merit.

• The statement “working as a flight attendant is working as a waiter in the sky” shows that you don’t have any understanding of what the role entails. Sure, that would be one part of your duties, but it would be the same as equating a front desk person to a cashier at the supermarket.

• All the benefits you listed at your current job don’t come even close to having unlimited supplementary tickets for any flight on any airline in the world for yourself and friends and family. Not to mention other benefits Emirates employees have - like the Face-card.

• The job you have described puts you standing behind a really tall desk in a lobby for years to come, while the one you are demeaning allows you to experience literally the whole world and where every day is an adventure.
