job dilemma

Gunga Din · August 5, 2007

right, this is the craic.

Company i worked for in Manchester went t*** up, leaving me high and dry. now, as i now live on Merseyside, i thought i'd get a job in Liverpool. i went for a couple of interviews with two different companies,

of the two interviews i was more impressed with company A than Company B. however, Company A are a big PLC, have offices in town, and when at the interview, the guy told me he didnt want to offer me the job i had applied for, but had something else he wanted to offer me, but couldnt say exactly what, as his comapny where going through Due Dilagence.

the same day i went for an interview with Company B, a very small company, a bit outside Liverpool. CompanY B had me back for a second interview a few days later and offered me the job. i really liked teh people there and so i said yes, i couldnt financially afford to wait, as i had Athens and a Season Ticket to pay for.

Now, its a straight forward Job, decent money, small office, i'll make a decent wedge there while spending 6 hours from 8 spamming the web, its no pressure, but its no career, i'll not progress anywhere.

now, two weeks ago, after starting in my new job at start of July, i got an email from Company A asking me to go back in and see them. i was offered a job. this Job is a career, i'd be my own boss more or less, responsible for stripping a recently bought companyh back to its bare bones and building it up again, i'd have responabilty for the whole thing, and i could potentially double the money i would make it company B. However, Company A will come with pressure and expectation, i'd also be responsible for an awful lot more than i've ever been responsible for.

However, Company B is fantastic. i love it. the people i work with are hilarious, the atmosphere is great, and i enjoy it..............but, its dead end, in a way. there is no real scope for career progression

so do i

stay at Company B, have an easy life, make a decent living and run the risk of getting bored

or

Go to Company A, where if i get it right i'll double my money, be pretty much my own boss, have an hour less travelling every day, but run the risk of either hating it, or f***ing it up.

The basic wage at Company A is slightly better than Company B too, although in my line of work, its more commission than Basic that attracts me.

what the hell do i do??? I have Freckles Head wrecked asking her about it, so i thought i'd ask you lot
