A dilemma to choose between 2 job offers.?
Answer:
i had the very similar 2 offers. what i ultimately decided to do was go with the new company. i told my boss very politely, "i appreciate that you are willing NOW to offer me a salary that is significantly higher than what i have, but it took an extreme level of competition (my resignation) for you to see my value. i want to work for someone who sees my value before i resign." hope that helps!
i had the very same dilemma as u.
for me, i followed my gut.
try to remember the very first decision u had when u first met this dilemma.
then follow that. that was your gut, and its hardly ever wrong.
Distance would have to be a consideration. Can you take a leave of absence from the first job while you work the other? that would be great if you could.
I would go with the better paying job.and NO ..do not tell him about the other job interview.he might give you an ultimatum and fire you over it. My friend just went through the same thing.
Just say you need time to think about it. Do what your instincts tell you. If the first job doesn't let you think about it, then its not a job worth working at. Hope I have helped.
Find out what the old manager has to offer first.
Tell him you will think about it. Go to the new interview and then you can compare. At that time, if you decide to go with the new, then tell the old manager that and see if he will up the offer if need be. Never burn any bridges when moving forward.
Beware of "primetime" - he is advertising a website again!!
yes tell him you are entertaining another offer and will get back to him. you look out for your self dont feel guilty they look out for themselves. take the best offer.
BEST TO KEEP BOTH OPTIONS OPEN, W/O LETTING YOUR CURRENT MANAGER PRESSURE INTO MAKING A DECISION BEFORE YOU KNOW HOW YOUR INTERVIEW WITH OTHER EMPLOYER GOES.
GOOD LUCK !
Whatever you decide DO NOT tell them about the other offer or that you are applying at other places. Trust me on this. It's never a good idea.
anyway try to give ur decision to ur ex-manager after u settle the interveiw so thet u can compare all the condition given by two company.
I would take the job with the better pay, and conditions, I mean what can you lose by taking the job?
yes tell him other job offer that he can decide to give you more incentive and benifits if he really wants you to work for him.
There must be a reason that you are looking to go somewhere else. Think about what will make a better working environment and will better conform to your schedule, then make a decision based on the place the best meets those criteria. If your current job were all that great you wouldn't be looking elsewhere to begin with. You don't have to tell your manager about the other job unless you get it. If what the manager offers you sounds good, then take it. You can still go to the other job interview and see what they have to offer. And if it is better, take that one and quit your current job. There is no such thing as job loyalty for the worker or employer so you have to do what is right for YOU! Don't let someone guilt you into staying somewhere when you could be happier somewhere else. Think of it this way, do you think your manager would hesitate at all to get rid of you if he had to cut costs? You have to do what is right for you in this day and age.
There is a reason why you started looking in the first place. Don't forget that. Talk to your boss and explain that. You want to be honest without burning any bridges. If they are really going to make concessions for you then you should at least entertain their counter offer, which is what they are really doing. If your boss is professional and level headed it won't hurt to tell them about the other job offer. That's fair for them to know.
Don't succumb to the guilt. You don't want to stay at a place where you are unhappy because you feel guilty. That's even worse than just being overworked or stressed and its not good for the work environment. Just make sure you give them plenty of notice and train your replacement if you can. If you are honest with them from the beginning there is nothing for you to feel guilty about.
