No to Secretary(MeitY) job offer

I think I have written earlier that Secretary, MeitY , Mrs Aruna Sundararajan had called me thrice and asked my interest for a position in her office under her direct supervision. I believe she got to know about me via Rahul, who recently joined the office (without informing me anything). Initially, I was quite excited and ready to join the team where she planned to hire a few foreign educated resources and work on hi-profile stuffs.
After a gap of around a month I got a sudden call from her office today for a meeting. After waiting for 3.5 hours in the morning and evening, I got the appointment at 7-10 PM. By that time, I made up my mind and I answered negatively for all the questions she asked. I had to even lie that my residential place is far off from office and hence I can't remain in office for long.

My diary entry exposing hypocrisy of Rahul

I don't know how this decision will unfold in future. But here are my reasons:
1) So far as the information I gathered from Vinay Sir, her office and even from her words, she needs someone to accompany her to different meetings, take notes, prepare MoM- basically role of knowledgeable PA to be with her full time. I am no way interested in such a profile. My work satisfaction would be the least. And, Moina's point is also valid that my profile will not be associated with any project/initiative/direction.
2) Once hired, I have to sit with Rahul and his team. Working alongside Rahul would be the most disastrous experience I can think of. He has been kind of a traitor. I just can't handle him anymore.
3) Since the beginning of this discussion, I have observed the staff employed in Secy office; they don't have any clue what madam wants. Today was worst with 3.5 hours of waiting time. This reflects badly on Secy's personality. I am not sure how I would be able to handle her with so much confusion/unpredictability. So, in other words, I helped take her a decision quickly for not hiring me.
4) My personal life would be screwed up. Madam never goes home before 7-30 PM; all Saturdays are working. I really don't think matters related to CDAC, DISHA etc deserves to be given so much of my time. These are not topics related to Economics or Politics that I would gain something in future by doing overwork.
5) Akilur Rahman was with me and Secy was considering both of us for the position. He is very keen for this as he has been with NeGD for around 4 years and is looking for a career in this sector only. He ensured my Kargil trip and tomorrow giving me a storytelling session on DigiSevak. After coming out of Secy office, I looked at his eyes, and I congratulated him for the new position. (He was trying hard to explain me it is not a PA position, rather a OSD position).
6) My current manager and A&C team has been superb. Though I worry a little about the kind of work I would do in A&C, still, this team has been the best so far.
7) I have applied the NITI Aayog (though they might have rejected me already) and maybe to a UN job soon. I am venturing out and Secy role might create a bar to explore for atleast next six months.
8) Lastly, this decision is also a sign of my maturity. I am not just running after something that everybody will run. I am actually looking at things with a comprehensive perspective.

Having said so, I would miss the power equation I could have acquired by being with Secy, MeitY. That could have led me to something very interesting- who knows! But anyway, for the time being, the decision has been made from my side at least.
