Current Events > Got accepted for one of the two positions I applied for

(+) Yeah! (+)

Haven't heard back from the other, though I was told the decision would take longer for that one anyway. I went ahead and accepted the one I got now, but I'm still a bit conflicted. This job pays well, but chances are the other would pay better, and it would also be more in line with the degree I have. On the other hand, the job I'm at allows for high flexibility and working from home. Maybe I won't get an offer for the other one, and it's a moot point. But the possibility is one that I'm nervous about.

Also the one I accepted is basically a promotion in the place I already work at.

Leverage.

If you get an offer at the second place you tell them the rate you're being paid now and if they can do any better.

Your time is a commodity, whether you believe it or not.

Thanks much.

Yeah, this is the main thing that bothers me. I'm afraid of switching companies, then getting super stressed, even though it'd pay more and it would be experience for the career I was meant to be in.

I think chances are, the other job would pay more (though it may be by very little). Careerwise though, the other one is likely the best option. It's tough. Part of me hopes I don't even have an option.

I agree, I just think Accounting is a slightly more stable field and is likely to pay more, faster.

I did already accept the first offer, and I could just say never mind and leave if I get the other offer, just not sure if I want to.
