I guess.. A > C > B

Depends what benefits being on the ground floor of A will bring.


All positions will have medical, dental, vision, etc. B and C offer 4 weeks PTO, A will be 6 weeks.

8 hours of E Training. Ughhh.

And Randy, C. Easy.


That's the way I'm leaning. Don't have to make any decisions right now obviously but the options are on the table whenever I decide to make a move on one.

Maybe I'm just an odds player (gambling is the one addiction I don't have!), but If you can increase your quality of life even a bit, while doing something you love? That's just a no brainer.

I don't have a lot of interest in money anyway, so a raise (however small) to do something I enjoyed would be my ideal situation.

EDIT: Also, don't undervalue being close to your workplace. If you add commute time to your hours worked, your salary and stress level can be drastically effected.

Job I'm working right now has a two hour bus ride both ways, so I'm gonna' be saving up for a car or a closer place ASAP.

At your age you're dumb to not consider A if you think it has the possibility of booming and believe in the company. This is assuming you have a very good reputation at your current place of employment and they would welcome you back if things went south at the other company. Also, stop being lazy and worrying about a 45 minute commute. I commuted from Lafayette Indiana to 4 blocks from the united center in Chicago 5-6 days a week to be able to get into the industry I'm in now. The sacrifices you make now could pay off monumentally in the future.

Idk about 6 months but taking the promotion in B definitely gives me more opportunities. If I took A I likely wouldn't have any room for quite awhile to move up as far as position but pay would have potential to be increased within 4 months to about what I'd be making in C immediately and then who knows after that.

As far as what you said first, at this point one of them will happen because they need to happen so it's just a matter of which one. Any one of the scenarios will allow me to live and provide comfortably.




Care to elaborate some? That one seems the least appealing to me simply because I will be bored. It does offer the most potential for opportunities to move up but there is no time frame attached to that.

And I've never worked somewhere that was more than 10 minutes from where I live so it's scary out there in the world. :ph34r:

EDIT: Also, B would essentially mean I'll never again get to do what I enjoy the most in C. A is also doing the same thing as C kind of, I think that's what's holding me up the most. :-/



sorry I meant c, the one that is 5 minutes away

e: didn't see you chose already- make sure you don't burn any bridges.. just incase

You should try to stalk her, make a journal of her likes/dislikes, and then use this information to establish a rapport with her, which will eventually evolve into a relationship based on your dark, terrible secrets.
