Which job will you accept?
-
Out of curiosity
Would you accept a job which pays more (let's say an extra 10k more) with a time limited contract of 2 years?
Or
would you prefer to take a job that does not pay that extra but you will be appointed as on-going staff? -
gigolo

10K more monthly or annually?
Even if annually, that translates to roughly 800 more monthly.
I'll take the 2 years contract one.

the former

10k anually? that's enough for a sec 3 stud like me.

Is there any chance for extension? If got I would take the 10k more..

10k more extra annually? 2 years contract? I'll take it!!

From the grapevine, I only know that the particular position is dependent on funding from government research grants and if the funding is pulled - the extension does not exist . The benefits however is good - the networks that can be formed are excellent and one may ( note: MAY) be able to plough ahead if one can keep the networks happy. But that usually comes with the downside, the networks are unhappy - you die standing.Originally posted by bigmouthjoe:Is there any chance for extension? If got I would take the 10k more.. -
depending on the number hours, the kind of work you do and the enviroment. if the staff ard is okay, i suppose 2 years can pass quite easily. is there any other catch to the former one? coz 10k is uqite alot. you decide bahx, its your life.Originally posted by fymk:Out of curiosity

If money not issue, see which ones you feel more value added lor, say in future when you put in your resume which one you will feel more proud of.

take the former
no such thing as a secure job now

It will be like a temporary promotion about 2 levels up. They asked me if I am interested because my ex boss recommended me into it. However it will have to be through an agency acting as a third party, it will be faster for them to acquire staff rather than waiting for 2 months and also that way I can enter by the backdoor instead of shoving my way into the front .Originally posted by crimsontears:depending on the number hours, the kind of work you do and the enviroment. if the staff ard is okay, i suppose 2 years can pass quite easily. is there any other catch to the former one? coz 10k is uqite alot. you decide bahx, its your life. -

It does sound very tempting .....it also involves travelling. So I don't really knowOriginally posted by o°flamingoO.o°O.o°:the 1st one, on off going sounds like temping -
How old are you and how long have you been in this industry ? Do you intend to continue in it in the future?

2 years contract one...
mite have a chance they will renew ur contract if u show satisfactory work after 2 years...
and if u find out the job dun really suit u, can always quit after 2 years... -
since the former is much more advantagous for you, perhaps you can weigh the both jobs. like say, do you have enough time of your own? which would allow you to stablise yourself. jobs are hard to get now, we haven't got choice but to be practical you get wht i mean? money is impt undoubt, but if its a "venture" you considered not safe or anything, money's nothing.Originally posted by fymk:It will be like a temporary promotion about 2 levels up.

Well , I have been a nurse for 6 years plus 1 year in health research. All in all 7 years in health.Originally posted by crimsontears:since the former is much more advantagous for you, perhaps you can weigh the both jobs. like say, do you have enough time of your own? which would allow you to stablise yourself. jobs are hard to get now, we haven't got choice but to be practical you get wht i mean? money is impt undoubt, but if its a "venture" you considered not safe or anything, money's nothing.
Both jobs are for communicable disease control research . I do think stability is good but no venture no gain. One is to plough up to the top level research areas and networks, the other is equally good in the sense of job security.
The contract job will take away alot of my free time because it is very demanding and I will have to accept on call duties and drop everything if there is a health emergency then return to pick up the pieces. More of running around.
The other is more senang in the sense that I will have a routine and I do not need to respond in an emergency unless the database crashes or they activate me. Either way both will be good. So hence my dilemma. -
More money the 10k more one
But I think also more risky
-
Well , I appreciate your advice and comments.
Now I have to think very hard about it I suppose. -
the 2nd one, 9.9k for ever! who wont mind sia!
