hi all sifus, currently ayam is at a dilemma.


Ayam : 27 years old, civil & structural graduate, currently at at developer company, already tendered from current company due to toxic environment.

Received 2 offers as below:

Offer A
Company : Prestigious Developer Firm
Pay : 16 % hike from current pay
Working environment : Free & Easy, interview process was smooth & hiring manager seems to be very friendly (asked a few peers working in the field, all mentioned that he's a good leader)
Distance to office from home : 7 km
Benefits : Employee discount for property, educational benefit, basic dental & optical claims, outpatient & inpatient claims)
Remarks : Last year staff had 3 months bonus

Offer B
Company : Famous Solar Panel Contractor
Pay : 24 % hike from current pay
Working environment : Free & Easy, interview process was smooth & hiring manager seems to be very friendly . (female & married) (had to highlight this as i had experience with non-married superior, and it was hard to deal with)
Distance to office from home : 7.5 km
Benefits : Phone & meal allowances, dental & optical claims, mileage claims, in & out patient benefit.
Remarks : Might need to travel outstation for site visits as solar farms are usually outskirt. Mileage & meal allowances are available whenever outstation trips are required.


** both offers are doing project management.


What would be your advice if your younger self received these 2 offers?

Ayam's concern is that:

If take offer A, the pay might affect future salary progression.

If take offer B, too focused onto 1 field which is solar.


All daikor & daijie, please share your comments & advice

For ease of reference, I’ve uploaded the respective JD for SiFUS’s review & comment XD

Agree that Solar is a good field, however just a small concern that it might be hard if i were to switch back property development.

Currently ayam in developer firm, doing mostly project management stuff, but more on residential & commercial building. Not aiming to get Ir, but aiming to get a work life balance job haha...

Previously from developer side.. But takut too specialized and takut future selection will be limited..

Wise word sir.. But again, have to decide which field to join.. if i were to join in Solar, 3 years down the road, will i be stuck in this field and difficult to join back project development / project management?

Agree sir, mind me asking if you are in solar / RE?

Oh I see.. how’s life in O&G? Are you onshore or offshore?

Noted with thanks sir! This really helps a lot!! TT
