Deciding factor in my decision

Hi

Do you find this sentence completely natural? I mean, deciding ... decision together?

His lack of experience was the deciding factor in my decision not to hire him.

Thanks,

Tom

Consider using "main" instead of "deciding."

In fact, I took the original sentence from here.

It's natural but very poor style. That kind of repetition bores me immediately.
