I am working in an Organization for the last 5 years without any increment. I have been offered a position in a different company with a 15% hike. The current organization where I am currently working is very easy going with flexible timings and work from home options and I have my own freedom to run the branch. Am confused whether I should shift or not as the new role offered to me in the different Company will be full of challenges. Money is not so much of an issue as I have other sources of income as well.

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.ThanksGeetu

Hello Sir,I am Abhishek, age 41, working in an MNC from last six years, as principal design engineer, electrical, in Mumbai.I am a resident of Pune with my family settled there.I have 18 years of experience in electrical design and PLC (programmable logic controller) automation industry.But due to office politics and partial behaviour from management, I am dead in my career.I am also getting very less opportunity in PLC automation, hence no new skills additions in my professional area.I tried hard to change my job but couldn't get any. I also discussed with my manager about my goals and wish to work on PLC automation, but didn't get any major opportunities.Recently I have got another opportunity in Pune but will have to travel more to foreign locations. I have to travel in my current job as well but the new company is offering better designation, better salary and better opportunities for me to work with new technologies in PLC automation.However, it is a very small Indian organisation compared to my current MNC I work for.I am in dilemma whether I should take up the new job or not?What is your advice?Thanks,Abhishek
