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?

UjSizzle:
The second option looks very promising, but I'm a bit concerned with how you intend to cut ties with your current employer.

What's the company's policy regarding resignation?
Keep that in mind before doing anything, and as much as is within your power ensure you leave the former on a good note.
You're still starting out; don't burn bridges.

maryhaam:

phantom:

ahckmedkosy:


The two are not on the same level..mum n wife na two different levels of relationship

The thing is most of my friends in oil and gas were recently dropped. As lucrative as the offer its still not a permanent position, but the pay per month is still higher than the other offer I have which is a full staff job.

Also, about the lady, thing is there's no1 serious at the moment, and I certainly cannot take an unserious lady to her.

UjSizzle:

You need to outline your priorities first. Be certain that what you prioritize is what is needed and not just wanted. And then pick an option that best satisfies that need.

As for the wife, mothers can be something. Tell her in time and then pray.

fajani:
you are somehow ryt but our ladies of now adays mix it together, end up asking silly question like whom will you choose, me or your mom? Difficult question to answer......

mrkels:
Im like u bro . Confused as hell

For me I am currently in first level grade in an organisation, another one just came up for next 2 levels in another organisation(same industry) and the third one is an oil and gas firm, on ofshore position 2 weeks in and 2 weeks out, I also have plans to continue my masters and my mom is on my neck to get married.


Sometimes it just feels that the whole world is on my shoulder.

Praying for guidance so as not to make the wrong decision.

Deluxever:

Priorities or career aspirations?
Priorities evolve and as such dynamic with respect to time

Job seekers should always base their decisions using their longer term goals as the deciding factors

UjSizzle:
