I get a job offer verbally early of month from a company and they offer something different from what I went interviewed previously. I would say is one level lower from what I aimed originally. The job scope seems simple yet they willing to pay quite well. I was kinda hesitate (as I still suspicious whether there is any hidden agenda on that job scope) but still accept the offer as they give a reasonably good package for that role. Somehow, 3 weeks passed and the background checking yet complete and actual contract yet signed off.
Now another company offering me a higher pay and higher position. The hiring manager showed sincerity and act upon her promise by notifying me personally ahead, before the HR contact me for the salary package offer. Although the setup of the team/department still new (but the company has been long setup in MY), there is a room for many changes (positive thought) yet could be a challenging environment.
I'm now feel like stuck in between... Whether to go back one level down (like starting all over again) and slowly climb up again OR I should go for a new setup environment with a lot challenges where I get to learn and also apply my past experience. This feeling comes much due to my previous experience where I resigned due to a negative working relationship with superior and having growing stress (which has affected my health). I was in junior leading position but always being compared with other seniors.
In summary,
(A) a slightly easy job for a reasonable pay
VS
(B)a challenging role with 10% higher pay.
(A) is a fortune 500 company with good benefits. But manager share a typical answer when I ask on career growth and path. The actual reporting manager is still vacant.
(B) recently make it to top 500 list as well, benefits wise is typical. Manager did share the challenge and also opportunity. A good listener during interview.
Any thoughts fr anyone?
Company B. Aside from the usual reason given, if u have a good listening manager, that's the place u want to go
Alot of times people leave their company due to their manager. I didn't work out too well for me. I hope u will make the right choice
