Job Opportunity - what would you do?

Recommended Posts

My current job is close to home, takes me about 10 minutes to get to work. The work load is light, and I have a lot of downtime. One of my good friends works with me, and the team in general has some cool people. Drawback, I have no benefits and the pay isn't great.

I applied for a new job and interviewed with the recruiter. I'm set to interview with the company on Friday. The job is farther away (difference of about 15 minutes of driving), requires more work, and is only guaranteed for 6 months. There's a chance of getting hired on full time, but nothing for sure. The positive is, it pays $5 an hour more than my current job. I've had a quick phone interview with the company already and they seem very interested in me. They too offer no benefits, but the pay is better.

I'm having trouble deciding what I should do if I get the job...and it looks likely I'll get it.

5/hr isn't worth trading a place you like for one you might hate IMO.

I agree...I'm still going to interview Friday. Hopefully they give me a tour of the facilities and I get to meet my potential co-workers. $5/hour isn't a significant pay raise and it is semi-negated with the increased amount I'd be spending on gas. But, at my current job, there is no opportunity of advancement in the company, so this could be a potential plus if I decide to change jobs.

Without gettin too much in your business...

It also is worth considering what % of your current earnings that 5/hr is.

The answer to take it vs pass is radically different if that's a 50% raise over say a 15%.

That is a good point...the raise is significant enough if it was a full time position that I would consider it a nice raise. I'm really concerned about the 6 months guaranteed...because I already have a full time job.

In this job market and with the economy continuing to struggle, I would not trade a full time job for a 6 month one. Full time jobs are too valuable.

I would go to the interview, and bring up the reservations about the 6 month time frame. If you nail the interview, and they know that the 6 months may be an issue, then you may be able to go straight into the permanent position. It is all about how you sell yourself during the interview.

This is very much what I'm hoping to do. A permanent position offsets every other concern I have about the job. We'll see...

is it what you want to be doing? audio stuff?

Hell no, I already make twice as much as I'd get in a studio. If it was moving into audio engineering full time, even for a slight cut in pay, I'd take it. This is a pretty menial office type position. Unfortunately I have experience in this area...

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
