Hello folks
I need the advice of career veterans and their great wisdom.
I am interviewing for a new job soon. The cart is way before the horse at this point, but if it works out, there are a number of considerations that will make this a tough decision.
Apparent pros
- A step up in title, responsibility and compensation
- Great benefits, including a rich 401(k) match and a DB pension plan
- A better situation culture-wise and relationship-wise (potentially...remains to be seen)
- Closer to my aging parents and hometown
Apparent cons
- Changing jobs after less than one year in the current job...in other words, job hopping, although I do not have a history of job hopping...right now.
- Expensive financial consequences for breaking rental lease and bonus payback obligation that the potential employer may not be willing to cover.
That's it for now. I will add more after the on-site interview.
Oh, and this is another megacorp.
Thanks
GW
