What will you do? Biz or Employee

[Raining]

Hello everyone... came across this crossroad recently and wish to seek sis/bros here for some opinions.

 

Just hit 30 few months back. My online company has just been acquired by a relatively huge UK firm. Financially, I'm decent I suppose & I have good standing with my CEO. However, I'm faced with a dilemma.

 

2 yrs back my predecessors' started my current company. I was one of the sales guy in the co. Due to some infernal affairs cum politics, they wanted to liquidate the co mainly as the co is in the red for some mths. Not willing to leave my customers in the lurch, I took up the reins of my firm from my former GM & Sales Director. Mind you, the co is bleeding cash every month from all imaginable expenses from payroll to rental. Believe me you wont understand how hard it is to pay a relatively low 2 grand rental and with the cleaning company chasing you for backlog $200 monthly payment. The situation is dire.

 

Thankfully, after taking over for almost a yr, I manage to bring my co from the red into the black (4 mths back). Mind you, I'm not a battle harden-trained biz man like many sis/bros here. My 1st biz as a cafe propritior fail with flying colours when I am 24 within 6months. My 2nd biz running a gaming lanshop (my passion) sink within 1 yr after my partner left me. I was 25 then. After two biz failures, I went for a sales job for a 1.4 grand monthly to pay the bills. (I was in IT & customer service & HR previously which bears no relevance hence the low pay.)

 

 

With endless door knocking & cold calling & rejections I've managed to acquire a pool of paying clients that pull my co into the game. Yes, I'm in sales (not account servicing, just sales), the lowest rung of the food chain. :)

 

Now that my co is bought over & me reverting to an employee again ...I'm wondering if I should start afresh again?

 

I am thinking going into the same line as what I do now, which means start from 0 again, but I love business. However last mth, I had a few VERY enticing offers (1 is to manage a co's sg team. the other job offer ans only to the country manager) which throws me off balance. Both pays well enough for me to hesitate on my new biz venture.

 

What will you do if you are in my shoes? Your opinions appreciated
