How do I decide between job offers?
June 4th, 2008 by eddyra on LifeI am confronted with a good problem. As you all know I have 2 job offers, and 1 job promotion in current company, of which I must choose one. While I can reject one of them more readily, I am having a difficult time in deciding between the other two. When I talk to friends and family about it, I get conflicting advice. All this makes me even more confused. I must make my decision soon.
I have job offer from Petronas Carigali and another one from Kencana Petroleum Berhad. The highest pay is Kencana Petroleum Berhad and I will have to stay in Sungai Buloh Selangor. The second is Petronas Carigali but I have to work at KLCC. I have a job promotion in current company, at least I can stay with my kids in Kemaman even though the pay is lesser. Now I have to choose between KLCC and Kemaman.
If I cared only for financial returns now, it would have been easy, compare the numbers and choose the highest paying job. But the highest paying job now may not bring the highest benefit to me over a longer period of time.
Today I received a called from Petronas Carigali asking for my decision. I got to answer soon, but what..

i thought u’ve made the decision en eddy…but now u’ve another offer…
maybe a short comment…to me, after read ur previous post (related to this entry), i think better u choose ur family which mean stay in kemaman.. i agree with u,ingat kat budak2 tu, masalah jenayah ke atas budak2 zaman sekarang..if im ur dotter, i will need my father around me and protect me, walaupn bkn 24 jam, tp masih kelihatan di mata..
pada sy la…money is not everything…we need money for our life but still not the main reason we are here, on earth..

But eddy.. u have to choose one of the offer! I think u have too. One and only.. is your daughter. Zaman sekrg mcm2 bleh terjadi. Minta dijauhkan. Ayah kan HERO pada sebuah family. Kalo cikgu tanya pun “Siapa hero awak? .. Hero saya ayah saya. Kalo tanya budak lelaki mesti dia ckp superman, ultraman ke, cicakman ke…. But anak perempuan lebih rasa selamat kalo ayah diorang berada disisi. Bak kata lea walaupun bkn 24 hours. Comment mcm nih ok tak?

Your wife wouldn’t like me. I think you should make the move unless you think you can learn, grow and succeed equally much by being stuck in Kemaman. Opportunities don’t come often and usually successful ppl are the risk takers. Money may not mean everything but money makes things work. If you have the money you can relocate your family and plan your life around new circumstances. I am not the typical mom, so if you are my son I say - Go for it.
