Quit 2 years ago after having a baby, barely job searched, somehow got an offer... and now I don't want it lol
So I left my job (data analyst) 2 years ago when I got pregnant and I've been a SAHM since. My husband works and honestly we don't need my income, but I've worked my whole adult life and sitting at home feeling useless has been eating at me.

Even that I did through auto-submit on 1-2 sites because I was too lazy to do it one by one. I figured worst case I'd pick up some small/mid-size projects. Well. 3 days ago I got an interview request out of nowhere, and today they sent an offer. Here's the kicker: I was looking for REMOTE and the offer is HYBRID. As in, I'd actually have to go into an office. And now my anxiety is kicking in hard because I a…
