Working hours : Mon-Fri (8.30am-5pm), sat (half day, alternate)

Ok, it might seem like an easy choice, looking at the pay& the size of the company..
i would also think tat i'm rather stupid if i give up this latest offer..i went thru a lot of stages of interview to finally get this job offer..
but the prob is i hav also begin to really commit my self in the current company, my boss really treat me well..

he is very willing to share his exp & personally train me n arrange seniors to guide me..
i m working in a new dept in the company, the team is very small, many things are not set up yet..
but i m glad my boss is willing to give me the chance & be patient wif me to slowly learn & lead the dept..
i know very well if i can work long here, i can be the pioneer of the dept & the company..
i also feel very guilty to my current team & boss if i sudd left them when we've all jus started make some progress..
the ppl thr r very friendly, thr's almost zero politics..

but the job offer now seems like a golden opportunity for Freshies like me..it is my dream job too..just the way i wanted..
the only thing is the company is kinda far frm whr i stay now..n very troublesome as i dun own a car yet..
my current company is just 15 mins away frm my home..

help..i'm really in dilemma..pls advice..

maybe u're right, it's jus tat in my current company, i do see tat loyalty is rewarded thr..
the top management thr has been ard wif my boss for more than 10 yrs..
my boss also personally told me the stories of how he trained them up, he said u need not be smart, but loyal & sincere is wad he counts..
but of course, i dun think this will happen in big companies..

haha, ya, usually if i jus look at the pay i wun even need to think..
but the chance of getting noticed & promoted...ya, competition will definitely be higher..
oh ya! i forgot to say tat my company now has been ard for 9 yrs..jus tat my dept is new..
but i was thinking too, like even if i get promoted in my co. now, how many yrs will i have to wait to get more than 3k?
i guess nothing's perfect, thr's always give & take..
when i first got my job now, i was actually quite happy wif the pay..i think not too bad, 2.4k at small co. + no exp..
but since now the new offer came..makes me feel like i've become greedy..
true, this is one "BIG" decision i have to make.. gotta make up my mind.. anyway..thx alot for the wishes...same to u!

i get wad u're saying...my dream is to one day go oversea to stay & work thr for at least a few yrs..i guess a good record of working in an MNC for my resume will definitely help me wif this..anyway, i've resigned, gonna start all over again...

it's good how u look up to ur boss.i had the same feeling wif my current boss too(or ex-boss coz i've ad resign)..

but things turned ugly when i told my boss abt my new job offer..he kinda let his emotions take over of him..
he did not scold me..but man, those words were definitely hard to swallow..he was arrogant and said tat it's not his lost but mine..say dun regret when i see him on the cover of the mag next time..how i'll join the rat race & bcum a just a normal employee by joining my new company..bla bla..

maybe what he said was right..i'll be in the rat race..i also understand why he's acting tat way, he must be pissed off coz he had made up so many plans for me...he wont's even look at me after that..
but still...i was really sad...he is definitely not the gentleman & humble boss that i've thought he was..when he once even ask me to take him as my 2nd father...i guess i was too stupid & naive to trust someone so easily..

well..at least he made it easy for me to leave the company..i left with no heavy heart, and i think i definitely won't regret..

anyway, it's time i moved on...gonna work hard to proved to myself that i can do it!

ya....ya right, maybe he's trying to hide his feelings..anyway, thx alot underpressure...same to u!

well..of course i would not be satisfied with just a 3.6k/month or to tell ppl which big company i work for for the rest of my life..
like underpressure,i'll say this is my ideal job, for now, as a good start..but in 2 yrs time, this might not be good enuf anymore..i might ask for more, or look for a diff kind of job..who knows??

ya right...we cant judge a "dream job" or "dream life" by just measuring the pay or the name of it..diff ppl judge life differently..
to me thr's no perfect job as well..as long as i enjoy wad i'm doing, i enjoy life, tat's wad's impt to me...
i do know tat i'm still young to clearly say wad i want in life..well at least i know wad i want now....

lol, dun wanna OT too much here...anyway, thx for the sharing...
