Hi Mayank,
I am facing a dilemma. I have to choose between two job options -- the existing one and the new offer which I got some 15 days back.
Currently, I am in the teaching field in a coaching institute which is in my native place where I live with parents (they don't want to move to a new place and I need to see them).
I have another job offer in a metropolitan city which is very far from my native place (2,000 km). Though it is in a reputed institute, it is for the same teaching position.
Now, I am confused as to whether I should continue in my present job or take up the new job.
I love teaching and both jobs offer almost same salary and same position. But the opportunity for growth is better in the new company.
At the same time, I don’t want leave my parents and they don't want shift with me to the new place.
I am totally confused, please help me to decide.
Thanks
Geetu
Hi Geetu.
I think these specific inputs will help you take the right decision:
1. Many professionals are moving from metros to smaller towns for better quality of life.
2. Time with parents is invaluable.
3. Changing your job in these uncertain times is not advisable unless you are getting a dream job.
Your current roles seem to give you job satisfaction, market competitive salary and, above all, quality time with your family.
I would suggest that you make the most of it and continue with your current role.
