Or is it better to work for a semi-gov company who offers much better
benefits and much attractive bonuses? The annual bonuses (including PB and AWS if really honoured), is about 9k more than the MNC.
The role at the MNC is likely more hectic and its name and reputation may command a bit of respect in my resume, but the semi-gov one is more relax and stable. Both companies pay the same base salary. Both jobs are of IT nature; the one at MNC more of an engineering role, while the semi-gov more of an analyst role.
What would usually be a wiser decision? Would the reputation of and experience at a MNC really help in career advancement and job hopping? This is my first job as a fresh uni grad.  |
since you're a fresh grad, perhaps you should overlook short-term benefits for the moment and think about your long-term career path.
- what do you want to do for the next 10 years? don't think of job hopping at the moment.
- which position can fulfill my above goal?
then evaluate your options:
- is the mnc reputable enough if i do job hop?
- can the mnc provide me with career opportunities?
- semi-gov is a comfortable environment. will i get complacent in the cloud of politics?
- are the skills learned transferable when i job hop?
i don't know about you, but i do know that even if one start off with a low salary and you're good at what you do, companies will be paying you much more to take on your next role. good luck.
