I’m somewhat stuck making up my mind
- Keep my current job at NTR
Highly uncertain job security, a hectic and chaotic environment in nonprofit, often long but sometimes flexible hours, but doing work that I mostly love and for good purpose. I have broad authority and the job is prestigious on a resume. The commute is a short bike ride just on the other side of downtown, but is right by CCP (where I’m currently going) and an easy 1-sub ride in bad weather. Eating good and cheap lunch around here can be sometimes challenging, but I can sneak in a beer on lunch sometimes if I’m careful. I can wear nearly whatever I want. Somewhat higher base salary. - Accept a new job offer
Near-certain job security in a growing & successful corporate environment, very stable hours, doing work that I enjoy but can be somewhat uninspiring and for a comparatively uninspiring purpose. The commute is a slightly shorter bike ride in the middle of town, but a 2 bus or 1 sub/ 5 block walk. Eating will be a lot more interesting and bountiful, especially with Trader Joe’s nearby. No more occasional beers on lunch though (at least early on). I’ll have to wear pants & polos every day. Somewhat lower base hourly, but better benefits and opportunities for overtime pay.
