Say you have two kinds of offers on the table, which one of these would you choose:
A- A job that will have no growth towards the management roles in the near future but brilliant salary and great team to work with.
B- A job that will have fast progression up the ranks but very average salary and a great team of colleagues.
Re: Job I will choose ..
I will accept Job B , get to the highest rank fast and then jump the ship to find job A with high salary.
Re: Job I will choose ..
job B :)
money is not everything in life - power is
Re: Job I will choose ..
Assuming that there are no other differences besides the salary and the advancement opportunities, I'd go with option B as well.
That being said, for someone who is nearing the end of his/her career ladder, I can see them selecting A over B.
Anyways, more relevant to the demographic of this forum, in the mix of selection criteria, I'd also consider the employer's reputation and industry recognition. I have in the past accepted positions at a lower salary because it was with a well recognized firm and could potentially lead to better opportunities after a few years.
Re: Job I will choose ..
I will go for job category A.
