Should I change jobs? |
I am a little torn about job possibilities. I currently work for a large government agency, and I really enjoy the job. I get along well with my bosses and most coworkers and only slightly annoyed with one coworker (person's work ethic is terrible). I have been with the agency for only a year and a half and have only been in this particular position for about 6 months. I am content with my salary although I think the coworker with terrible work ethic makes as much as I do yet I have more experience and more education directly related to the job. I do not think there is much job growth here, and I am only in my mid-20s. Another possibility has come about where I would make more money per day but it is less money yearly. However workdays drop from 261 a year (the 10 federal holidays) to 210 days a year with the other job. The other job also would use more of my skills related to a grad degree I'm working on now and appears to have job growth. Is this worth changing jobs? At this point in your life, I would be looking for any kind of job that has the potential for future job growth. If you are good at what you do, then it shouldn't take long at all for you to advance up the career ladder. Even though the money is less to begin with, it could be much more later on if you are able to impress the right people. I'm sure it would also be nice to have the extra days off. This would allow you time to relax, vacation, take on another part time job, or start up some kind of business of your own. Another thing you want to factor in is benefits. Many people often over look this when considering different job opportunities. I know that most government jobs usually offer pretty good benefits. If the new potential employer really wants you then you could negotiate for better benefits as well. well if you are getting along with your boss and feel comfortable . first collect enough money in your bank account that would last you for a good 5-6 months then do as you wish. Ask for a raise or leave. The other guy has probably been there longer and is why he is making more money. |
