So, I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride lately. After two months of searching hard for a job and feeling completely hopeless, I suddenly found myself juggling multiple job offers. It’s a good problem to have, but it’s also a difficult solution.
One sentence is a dream come true: more money than I’ve ever made, exciting career prospects, but it comes at a price. This involves moving out of state and potentially spending late nights, weekends and holidays on emergency response duty. Plus, there is the problem of being away from home and my child. On the other hand, there is a completely remote option. It’s convenient, I can be with my family, but the salary isn’t that impressive and the job security isn’t that reliable.
What would you do if you were me? Would you choose money and career growth or would you choose the remote option?
