[QUOTE=Watson;18720]Need advice

28yo F
8yrs exp in Supply chain
Currently in EMS environm, annual 85k

My complains
Never worked in EMS before, scope is what I like, mgr level, just rather fast pace and I fear project will run out soon, and I will be forced to look for another job or post within co.
Also, post/job level is fixed, there is no chance of promo, unless I move out of this scope. (Slim chance of promo). MGR level, IC.
Esle, Co / colleagues / culture are fine.

Headhunter called to offer a post with Medical Equipm MNC. 
1st round INT went well, and 2nd round looks to be final.
Post is relative junior, scope is junior, individual contributor, dealing in OPS.
But MNC will pay me higher than my current drawn. Not sure how much more.
In a dilema here, a move would mean, more room for growth, pay increase as this post is mid level junior. 
I always wanted to work in medical field as I find this is growing in SG, also assume better bonus/salary/perks in Medical as margins are higher. Am I wrong?

Any advise if I should proceed? Only 8 mths in my current co.[/QUOTE]

I had a talk with my fren who is a headhunter, he strongly discouraged the move since its a career step back. $$ can be earned back later. Will use some time to re assess what I want

Title don't really matter to me, I don't know why I get so much flake here on this. What matters is the scope.
My job now is not in operations. New job would be, and at the bottom of food chain. This is my grouse.

Pull factor to interview is the company and industry

you are just fake or the other was.

Hi Watson

Congratz. once move on, don't look back. the moment you go for the interview proves the pull factor was greater than the push factor and don't tell people here that it is not. you are 28 and the years of experience in the working world triger your adult instinct to respond by attending the interview, and the instinct already told you what to do next, later and then after.....

post here is just to seek more confort if your title drops, for hell sack it can't earn you any $$. but my advice to you is please stay put. after another 8 months you may be come to here again asking, "hey 5 figures job but maintain the same title.... should i take..." the market is bad out there and you are the lucky one for this time.

Hmm... whether job market is good or bad doesn't affect these high earners in any way, unless they just got fired.
