Two Job Offers. I Am Confused by Taiw(m): 2:36pm On Aug 26, 2015 |
I just got employed to work in a startup sub-company(formed as a result of diversification) that is leveraging on her parent company(an engineering firm). The sub-company is into eCommerce and I am the only software guy handling the platform using opensource. I feel I am not really learning anything new, I code less and besides the company is yet to make her first sales. We are still putting things in place with the support of the parent company. The job is on the mainland and I stay on the mainland. The fear is that i will be under pressure especially if sales are not coming in While trying to settle down, an IT firm came calling. I kept posting them by delaying my resumption date but they want me on board as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, they want me to start next week. I even tried to renegotiate salary even though both salaries are almost the same. They are offering to make me undergo a 6 months training in advance programming during my probation period. Its a place for me to learn more and is inline with my career ambition considering my degree and the fact that I love programming. The bad side is that the job is on the island and I will spend more. Its an already established firm with headquarter in usa. While the former is just starting out, but her parent company also has offices in usa and uk and are ready to patronize the sub company. I plan to start my masters(full-time) in unilag very soon which is inline my the latter. shuffling the masters programme with island will be a bit difficult than on the mainland. What do you advise? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Growth is key. Move to a company with structure, and where u wld not remain a local champion. As for unilag, are you doing pt or ft? Choose wisely but I'd advice pt. If u get accommodation around campus then it's easier to your new place and also ease ur programme. Final bullet... Go to a place where they won't owe you 6months salary when oga decides to cut costs. As an IT person u need to swim in the high Seas with big fish else u turn obsolete very quickly in the stream. 45 Likes |

Mean? So you would rather remain with a company that doesn't encourage your growth because you are afraid quitting would be mean? Don't be silly. You have the opportunity to work in a company looking to invest in your growth. There aren't much companies like that. If I were in your shoes, I'd grab that opportunity. Never let a good opportunity pass you by because you are afraid someone will get hurt. Remember that growth and self-development are very essential in any line of work, and any company that isn't willing to provide the opportunity for you to grow isn't worth it. 11 Likes 1 Share |

You must sacrifice something no matter the decision you take between the two employers. The issue now is which of them can u afford to sacrifice. |
