Difficult Employment Decisions
Wednesday, February 15th, 2006So. I’m still waiting to hear if I’m able to work for a small consultancy company that offered me a job last year (it’s an issue to do with nationality, working for the government and all that). I should hear fairly soon.
Now, the reason that this became stressful is that I also applied to work at BT One IT – BT’s technology group. This looks like a really good grad scheme, decent salary, nice company to work for etc. I’d be very happy to work there.
They offered me a job last week, I told them that I needed some time to sort out my other offer.
So. 2 job offers. Unfortunately, BT needed an answer today. So take the certain job at BT, or take the risk on a much smaller company who may not even be allowed to employ me?
I took the risk. Told BT that I was sorry but I had to turn them down. Apologized gratuitously for messing them aroud.
Very stressful. Only time will tell if this was a good call.
