what would you do? moondog Send a noteboard - 25/02/2010 07:35:41 AM
so, i've been actively seeking a different job for the last few months and i think i have a really good shot at a new position as of the phone interview i just got off of earlier tonight. basically, i would be doing a job that is slightly beneath my skills and abilities, but for $10-15k more per year than i'm currently making.

i'd really like to grow my skills into a better position, but i think the money is too good to pass up and i know my current company will not give me that kind of raise to keep me around (and i'm not entirely sure i would stay if they did). i haven't been formally offered the position, but i was told at the end of the phone call tonight that i should "think about it" and expect a call tomorrow. i'm highly leaning towards taking the position, even though it means being in a position of lesser responsibility, i'm wondering how many would do the same?

That's easy enough to avoid based on how you describe the positions though. - 25/02/2010 03:43:00 PM 154 Views

Less responsibility and more pay? How is that even a serious question, unless . . . - 25/02/2010 05:42:11 PM 183 Views
