So I got a new job right

I'm one of those international development guys and have always worked for small NGOs or local grassroots organisations. But now I am working for one of the big ones, the really big ones.

I am excited yet scared and overwhelmed.

As cliched as it may sound, it is way easier to be a big fish in a small pond. Plus it is faster to get things done when you don't have as big a structure.

Yet you can't argue with the resources and reached the a big organisation brings. Even if it comes with layers of management and bureaucracy.

Still, I am thrilled for this opportunity, let's just hope I don't fuck it up.

You're still not going to Afghanistan. Period.
