Accept a lower position but with more pay..will you?

[Application9999]

Now at a cross junction...not sure which way to move.....

 

Was offered a job with lower position (a working manager position, no one report to you) in the organisation but higher monthly pay and better benefit....compare to current position of country manager which has more control power and people reporting to you.....'' under one man but above many people'' so which one will you choose?

Won't they give you a boot once its decided 2 cheaper guys can do a cheaper job than you?

 

I would say, go for the managerial position, and try to excel in it. It should pay on the long run.

 

Just my humble opinion

[Ngck]

go for the one which offer you more potential and pay in the long run...

 

dun just compare current pay

[Hondacub777]

For me,$ come first.no use of giving me a manager position and full of control but pay me peanuts.by the way,i have a fren who was promoted to sales manager.he handles and oversees his group of sales personnel.he did not need to do any sales,company pay him a fix pay and some overriding commisions.but in the end,his sales staff all got better $ than him.he requested to go back to do sales and willing to gave up his position.now he is back smiling again .

A road-sweeper in the cemetery also fits the description above.

i will choose lower position (lower responsibility), no need to control people (less headaches) and with better pay..

late 30s

Bro

 

I would choose the job with better prospect..

Example:

If the country manager job is slightly lower paid but provide the chance to go into area/region manager role..Why not..

While the other role might be just a specialised job, will you feel bored after a few years as the room for growth might be limited..

 

But all above are just my guesses..Well, life is just full of choices, just have to choose wisely and stick to the decision that you have made..

 

All the best in your choice..

[Rainman]

The choice is obvious right? but I think u need to consider if the company is stable than ur current?

both are huge corporation with their own strength......that is why the hard choice....was being headhunt.... so confuse now...

In the long run, it only pays 2 be Happy with the job. If everyday u need 2 see ur Boss or subordinate's FXXX face and be well paid, u still be not Happy.

It true but again...to move on is to venture into another unknown...it take sometime to climb this far and to let go is a hard thing...but $ will be better for new job....so which way to go.....so confuse now...

[David]

Late 30's is indeed a crossroad, not unless you subscribe to the notion that a man at 40's is just blosoming.

 

If you belongs to the former, then I would say take the higher pay but spend wisely.

Do agree on the risk, for me I don't even mind if the pay is lower! Ur case the $ is better, and if u r not happy with current job, then it's a risk worst taking!

Where u find this job, I also wanna quit my current one!

 

[RadX]

Taking on a new job is not just abt the money...there are myriad of factors also that affect like

 

1. Settling in to the co, and the culture. Some ppl think they got the better deal but when they go over, they are unable to adjust and thus leave. Ig you are comfortable in the current position, ask yourself, is comfort you want? Are you contented?

 

2. Salary is one thing, but look at the perks of both, and as a Country Mgr, you are on your way to stepping further. Is this what you want or are you prepared to take a back seat and be happy as a mgr? Also, HR might not view non-ambitious ppl favourably.

 

3. Travel. Does this take you away from your family? You yearn to have daily meals w them at home? Another consideration. Remember, when the cards turn, the family will always be there. Jobs, ptuiiii....there is no such loyalty

 

These are teh 3 topmost on my mind......think it over carefully...and when it comes to the crux, toss a dice and decide....hahahahah
