Job Question: Job A vs. Job B
Posted on 3/2/15 at 6:52 pm
Posted on 3/2/15 at 6:52 pm
Ok... here's the deal.
Got two job offers recently.
Job A:
Higher Pay (~20% increase)
Closer Proximity to Home (~10min)
Huge, National Company
Completely new (but learnable) industry (outside sales covering Northshore)
Job B:
Average/Similar pay
Little bit further from home (~25-30min)
Help build a new division from the ground up for a new offering
~4 years Experience in the industry (Metairie; outside sales/internal functions)

Take Option A to live closer to home, more pay, and learn a new skill set and contacts.
You can always go back to Option B in some capacity of A doesn't work out.

Job A
Closer to home and higher pay. Take that all day.

My bad. Not even changing it.

How is this a question?
I see an overwhelming consensus to Job A... but shouldn't the experience come into play?
Also, the fact that I could come in and help build a new division the way I see fit versus being a number?
I'm talking the difference between a $4B company vs. $30M company...

You should take option B, destroy everyone there, liquidize their assets, then move to option A, and bring the clients from B with you to open a new department at A that you would lead.

Did I win?
But for serious, I would probably take B. A leadership position will lead to bigger and better leadership positions.

I'd go with option A, more pay, closer to home, less risk...

I will go against the grain...choose option B. Get the experience of building something from the ground up...more money will come later.
