I have two job offers from companies in different industries. Both of the offers seem pretty good, so how do I make an informed decision? I have asked around the jobs and careers forum about the companies which I will be working at or even the post that I will be given but I did not get any feedback.

I'd jump companies, no joke.

I just searched for the topics that were already there and posted in them, but you are right.

I am currently going through another offer process so once I have all the facts, then I'll update you on that.

For now, I'd just like to know of how you think the different industries will perform in 10 years time and the responsibility and skill set developed by the position listed in the parentheses. They are semi conductor (design & testing), telco (management trainee) and oil and gas (engineering trainee).

Can you ask your crystal ball the following questions?

1. It says that the smaller players were forced out, but now we have three more companies (Yes, U-mobile, Tune Talk) to complement the three that were dominating before (Celcom, Maxis, Digi). Any comment on this?

2. Why would OnG companies hire engineers if their wells are drying up? I made a topic about a future in the oil and gas industry as I was admittedly ignorant on the quantity of oil left in the earth and the general consensus was that the supply would not run out in our lifetime.

I noted that you claimed the crystal ball wasnt always accurate but it is spot on on the comment regarding the semiconductor industry where the challenge is to make something smaller and lightweight but maintain a sensible sense of performance.

Not a clue, was the purpose to gain side income?

Youre talking on a global scale right, not only the companies here in Malaysia?

I dont know how generous they were in assuming that the oil would run out by 2050, but I'll be probably be retired by then so I gather that this works out nicely for me. Too bad I wouldnt be getting any post employment support though.
