Which Will You Choose?

- A regular, easy job in a small company. Pays somewhat comfortably but riddled with frustrations from frequent R&D and product delays. Little, if any, upward movement. Little chance of bonus, poor benefits.
- An MNC job with regional responsibilities. Doesn’t pay as well, but bonuses are likely. Standard benefits. Upward movement possible, and frequent travelling.
- A job that pays very well, but one you hate. You wake up every morning cursing yourself and wish you didn’t have to go to work. Great opportunity with a chance of making partner. Bonuses almost guaranteed.
- A job with a venture capital firm that oversees various startups. Pay is subpar, but you get some equity. Little or no benefits. Great networking opportunities.
- A fun and exciting job, but one that doesn’t pay (at least not right now). High risk, but possibility of creating intellectual property that may pay financial dividends in the future. Be ready to live on bread and water for a while, though. What bonus?
What would you choose, and why?

Tough choice but our needs and ambitions alter as we go through life. I was in a low paying job that pays 6mths bonuses. I was bored and left after almost 4 years to seek greener pasture with a private firm that pays better salary but no bonuses. It was hard not thinking about the bonuses my ex colleagues were getting. And I was only getting my 13 month pay on a 12 month instalments in the following 12 months! Aaah that is life..

Hi constance,
It’s a common problem… we’re always comparing ourselves with others!
I guess it’s a matter of what we want in life at that point of time…
