1) "Did you quit your job in the weekend?"
"I was thinking of doing so for a long time, but then I decided not to".
2) "Did you quit your job in the weekend?"
"I had been thinking of doing so for a long time, but then I decided not to".
Are both the past continuous and the past perfect continuous possible in this sort of sentence? Does the meaning of the sentence change according to these two different kinds of past?
