Its not an easy role, especially if you are flagging people out and people may not be that cooperative and try to hide stuff.

I am not sure whats your background, but think of skills transferability, if you foresee if this role would be automated/outsourced in the future.
I guess we pretty much does the same thing. Its really dead and brainless. I cannot imagine doing that for the rest of my life. All the best to you!

Its really mind numbing and there are loads of processes that are duplicated. Totally has no sense of achievement at all. Though the pay is decent for the job. But i cannot foresee how im contributing to the organisation in this manner. I'm basically responsible for loads of reports that no ones bothers to look at. And yes. Doing that can take a entire month.
You answered yourself. But to grow basic definitely go for higher basic
One. Increment is multiply basic bonus also see basic.

Ellexxx You'd have to define brain dead. If you want to look at progression, then you'd have to look at the job scope of each job and compare them to see which can lead you up the management levels.

Which Job Should i take

Hi Guys,

A couple of questions here. Got 2 offer from different companies.

A: Basic: 3500/month+VB (Title: Product Management Executive)
B: Basic: 3100/month+AWS+VB+Fixed Transport allowance (Title: Sales Support Executive) (brain-dead work)

Which job has the potential to get me a higher salary in future (i.e to say, asking for a 4000 basic/month job)? Since both A and B adds up to almost the same annual amount.

My previous company's general manager has also came back to me wanting to discuss a new role for me But i don't get along with the colleagues from my previous company at all except for those in management. Would you suggest i return? Previously they are only paying me 2600/month+AWS+VB.

Would you suggest A or B in terms of future earnings and prospects.

Thanks guys!
