So then,
I am currently employed by one of the worlds largest food companies, but stay away from home due to distance to the workplace.
I love the role and in the 3 years I have been there, the culture has been brilliant. Lots of changes, but still a great place to work. However, I think the opportunities to progress are limited, based upon feedback and observations.
Now, I have been approached by another large multi-national food company and have been offered a position that would mean not having to stay away from home. The position looks great, pay is good, but the interviewer was very coy on career prospects.
I suppose the first question people would ask, is if why you say you are happy in your current role, would you be looking for another? This is a valid point and also part of the issue.
When I took my current role, we both (wife and me) knew what it would entail with staying away from home.
However, my son is now 9 and I have been spending more time away at work due to manager shortages. I can’t fault the salary and money, but this is not everything.
The position I have been offered means that I will be able to be home every day, but it means a 110 mile away commute every shift through heavy traffic. Travel will probably take just over 2 hours per shift.
The package will probably be slightly better than what I am currently on, but I am unsure.
The additional mileage I will be covering every week, plus time spent commuting.
Get a lot of perks where I currently work: company credit card for employee activities. Lots of overtime if I want it.
Holidays are standard.
new role,
Closer to home, but more mileage in general.
Unknown from a culture perspective.
I am still unsure as to what the best option is.
Ocuk do I stick or twist?
