I am currently up for consideration for 2 jobs. Both interviews are this week and
this presents a very real dilemma.
Job 1: I'd be going in as a temp-to-perm admin for an important person for a moderately sized private sector organization. The permanent baseline salary is what I was making at my last permanent job and peaks $6,000 above it. The benefits are good, a friend works nearby, and she confirmed they promote from within. The commute would be on metro and located not too far from The Boy. It would be a traditional work environment.
Job 2: An up and coming tech company with a casual dress code, no set number on vacation days, frequent free food, and a Ping pong table, it's a much less traditional workspace. The job would be 30 hours a week as a front desk person with a close friend working in another department. The last 2 people who did the job have been promoted, one is due for another promotion based on her skills. The commute would be driving on one of the worst rush hours in the area. However, I've seen several positive articles about it as a work place.
Job 2 could be like one gig I had where I just felt "I am not pretty or sophisticated enough to work here" the entire time. (My friend says the entire sales staff looks like Barbies.) Job 1 could feel too stuffy and structured. Job 2 could take so long to do anything with me I could go stir crazy or the lack of money could cause real problems. Job 1 could be very impersonal.
Both have growth potential and promote from within. Both have people I like right there. Both may say "No thanks" and I'm making myself crazy over nothing.
If both say yes, I really wish I could Sliding Doors my life and see what happens. What do I do?
