Here's the thing, I got a call this morning from a head hunter who is offering me a job which pays probably double my current salary. While tempting as it may sound, I'm having a tough time deciding on it. Why you ask?...well, sure the money is damn good but that also means I will have to be doing what I use to do a few years back which was something I was trying to get out of to begin with (mainly managing IT based projects).
Some of you might know that I have started out in a technical background and been managing IT based projects for the first 4 years of my working career. I got out of that and ventured into a more fast paced industry which is online marketing/advertising. For me, I like being in this current industry mainly because I get to meet people, and also learn a lot as my clients are from different industries. Going back to the IT industry means I will be only confined to the office most of the time and if not, clients will only be specific to the IT industry (boring!!!). To be honest, I am actually also contemplating to go into marketing all together. It would be nice to be working as the client for once right?
So...if you were me, what would you do? Go for something you don't really like but get paid really well, or do something you really like, while not getting paid as much?
Note: If you're my employer reading this....well, don't worry...it's not in the same industry so it's a totally different ball game all together. I guess this is something many of us will go through throughout our working career. Arrghh!
