How is the current job market for networking?

Would you screw-over your "new" job for this offer? Please help!!?

  • I am a 25 year old single female and am making a career decision: I have been with my current employer (Company A) for 3.5 months. The company has a great reputation, it's less than a mile from my apartment, it is an overall good experience. On the downside, there are only 15 people in the company and there is ridiculous drama and cliqueness. Also, the hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30-6:30 p.m. Most weeks we have at least one networking event as well. A company (Company B) I have interviewed for in the past is making me an offer for $7,000 more as well as a set-up where I can work 100% from home. I won't have to deal with the drama of my current job and my hours will be more flexible. Me: The idea of working from home sounds great to me. I won't have networking events to attend because I will be working for a market that is in another state. I am also a little nervous about it though, because I know working from home takes a lot of initiative and I don't want to feel like I can't escape my work or like a "hermit" because I am not getting out a lot. At the same time, the drama at my current job is ridiculous. I can deal with it, I just don't feel I should have to. The safe decision is stay with Company A because I am "comfortable" there now and know that they have no intention of letting me go. Company B sounds great, but it's a risk because there are a lot of unknowns that I won't have the answer to until I make the switch. Also, my current employer (company A) just had our newest employee quit this past week. Being a company of 15, it is a big deal. Especially since they are expecting to get pretty busy in the next couple of weeks. Essentially, me leaving will screw them over even more. I have to make this decision today. Do I "screw-over" my current company and take the risk with this new one? What would you do? Thanks so much in advance!!

You have to do what's best for you. If a company offered me $7000 more than the company I worked for, unless I loved my current job I would go for it. Good luck to you.

My work-at-home situation began in October 2009. In April 2010, I seemed to be finding the work less "immediate / urgent" and so it became an increasing drag to actually do the work, as opposed to watching anime over the internet. By June I was putting in only a couple of hours a day instead of the full time I should have been devoting to it. In August 2010 I gave up altogether and fired myself. For me, working at an office was important. I could escape from home by going to the office. I could escape from work by going home. Working at home I had neither escape. You may not be the same as I am. Good luck.

As the old saying goes, "Don't try to fix what is not broken." That means that if you like your current job and you don't feel like you HAVE to leave, its not worth it. Because odds are that you wont like the job for Company B and then you will be miserable. Unless you like living for money. But in the long run, that will just ruin you.

dizzy a job in hand is better than 15 in mind stay where u are u have been there fr enough time to understand and manage ur work and the routine is fine with u dont change ur work believe me u will regret it working at home means u dont have a desk u wont know everything going around u besides being at home means ur an expendable asset while at the other job ur wanted asset which one to go for? Simply companyA besides among 15 employers u can be the manager or so in a higher rank more quicqly and ur work will be noticed and appreciated rather working in a company which has a 100 employee i hope u got the pic
