I think the answer must come from you. Only you can decide what you want to do. . Short term gain for long term pain? or is the move fitting into your long term plan? If you are going in for the money, yes you enjoy it for a while before reality sets in, and you hate and dread going to work then the extra money not worth it. So I think it boils down to what you want to do, and if you are totally clueless,then like what everybody is saying - go for money! decide later, but you will still end up at another similar crossroad in the future. But who cares right? just kick the can down the road and worry about this later? Yes, having more time to trade the stocks is a really bad idea.. I myself was burnt last few years (lost 50k in total?). |

You sound like a very confused dude. At the end of the day it's a simple thing, you prepared to slave (likely 12hr per day at least) for higher pay or you get a cushy job and stick with your decent pay. Asking others is a waste of time, everyone will say different things because of different life style and expectation. It's like auditors, everybody knows the simple calculation that their pay per hour can be lower than admin assistant, they themselves also know, but most stay for a variety of reasons and dun consider work life balance an important thing. The only thing I can say is make your lifestyle decision yourself, you are living it after all. PS: Going for work life balance to devote more time to gamble stocks is a bad idea IMO. |

Anonymous | Since you don't intend to stay long in either jobs, it really implies you are not that serious about either jobs. Exactly what do you intend to do then, and when do you intend to pursue it? If it is in the not too distant future, I would just go with the $. Of course, you need to consider how it would look on your resume as well, including the period of work. | |

Unregistered | What is the prospective job abt? I would say go for whichever has a better job fit for u. Even if u take the higher paying job but it's not suited for u, u won't be able to last long. The 6k++ is the base salary..? That's a 2k jump from your current which is quite unbelievable..the expected bonus is only abt 2 mths..so it can't be investment banking nor private banking.. | |
