TFW you have been looking for a better job for a few months, interviewed for several, and now have 2 great job offers, have made your pros and cons list, talked it out with loved ones, and still can’t make a choice. It’s a nice problem to have, but also frustrating for someone like me, who looks for all the info to make a choice and then second-guesses my decision once made. Argh. Can anyone relate or offer any general advice? I need to make the decision and stop thinking about it.
@GEAUXJayna When in doubt, pick the one that has the best snack selection.
@ianthealy Well, both are 100% WFH, which is exactly what I wanted, so they have the same snacks - whatever’s at my house. Since they are WFH, they also both offer wonderful cat co-workers as moral support. 😺
@GEAUXJayna Then whichever one requires fewer zoom meetings where you can't wear pajamas.
@ianthealy That is something I wish I knew at this point, but that’s a wait-and-see sort of thing. I’m hopeful that cameras won’t always be required at either. I’m in IT, so many of us keep cameras off in our calls (at my current workplace and most recent past ones) by default.
@GEAUXJayna I keep thinking about this from oddball directions. Which job has a younger base of employees that may need tech support? Old farts (not like ME! Never ME) who keep using CD-ROM trays as cup holders will be more exhausting day to day.
@GEAUXJayna ummm...which one would be more upset at a unionization effort amongst its employees? Now I'm reaching.
@ianthealy Well, one is in-house IT for a company and the other is a consulting gig with a national consulting firm/hardware & software reseller. The in-house IT role involves O365/SharePoint engineering, so not as much user support. The consulting role is more Exchange/migration to O365-focused, but there’s no telling what ages & levels of understanding I would encounter on various projects with them.
