Things have improved considerably --- and now I am in a quandary situation.
I need a little input with a decision I have been teetering with.
For the past couple of months, I have been unemployed, desperately searching for an opportunity. And then, I got two job offers at a time. They are both as contract specialists, one is with software and the other is in commercial finance. One pays 5K more than the other with no overtime amd the other one has the possibility of overtime.
At present I dont know what to do. I accepted both positions and I am currently waiting to "supposedly" start one next month and currently working with one. But I have to make my decision by the end of next week so I can break it to the company gently and give them enough time to recruit a replacement. I have been told to write down pros and cons and figure what pros outweigh the cons. My mind is swayed towards the position in commercial finance because I am getting a business law degree and it sort of ties into it and software is a little technical for me. However software is also a very good/thriving industry to work in as a paralegal, as we all know.
I have also tried researching the companies. But it's basically cookie cutter information. No insider tips as in what it feels like to work there, company politics, managerial style, etc. Are there other ways of obtaining this information?
So that's where we stand. There is more to it I suppose, I don't know if anyone is interested in hearing my jibber-jabber. Please help. You can ask me any questions that would help you analyze the situation.
