Ever had that moment in your life when you knew: This choice will depend a lot about my future and I want to make the right one?!
I've come before such a point.
I've been job-hunting for a steady job to go to after my studies. I've done a bachelor in Business-administration and a master in Management-consultancy. Now, I happen upon two awesome jobs at the same time, one I'm just hired on, the other close to being hired. The one I'm hired on is a traineeship for project-controller where you spent most of the time in project-groups or as interimmer. The one I'm close to being hired on (only one more interview to go) is a job as junior-consultant for a large and international firm.
Both have their pro's en cons of course.
The traineeship is an immidiate full-year contract, and you have classmates following this traineeship so you have a more closely knit team. In contents, the funcion is of course incredibly finance related and though not my specialty I have proven myself in this field. The job-description also lists this job as basically one level below mine which should make it easier all given and taken. I also know I can excell in this job, perhaps more so as in the other function I have open. Still, choosing this job might lead my career to a rather one sided affair - project controller for the government. Different projects of course but it would be all rather limited from what I heard.
The junior consultant job is of course a logical step into my career. It's actually what I have been aspiring to and getting a job into this industry is incredibly tough, making the final reward more the sweeter. The function is, however a lot more focussed on independence and an incredibly steep learning curve and this jagges up the difficulty a lot. In return the educational rewards are big. Free home-schooling with programs I can pick and chose, an educational budget and a training in America where I have always wanted to go. I also get a car on the business' expense. Return is that I get some harsh judgemental factors - I have to get my drivers-licence in a few months and finish my thesis in time. When it comes to the job, I'm on the cutting edge between strategy and ICT within healthcare and governmental organizations, the perfect branche for me. I'll be doing descriptions, testing of systems, giving training and eventually, advise on the best business IT solutions. Which is quite well even though I have no experience in ICT-advice. Yet if I do this and I'm good enough, I'm set for life as a consultant which is still my passion.
Anyone ever had such an experience? It's a gamble of course and I don't expect anyone to make this choice for me. I was hoping for more people who ever had such an issue, what their choice was, what followed. And I just needed some place to write this down. Fucking luxery problem.
tl;dr - gotta choose between two awesome jobs and hope for some other peoples stories.
