Which company would you work for?

Say there's two companies A and B, A is close to home and B is an hour away but with the same salary, more benefits(e.g exposure to multiple skills) and a better gut feeling.

Which would you go for?

No such thing as gut feeling, from a scientific point of view as it's often based on bias, but that aside, I'd break it down by; what I thought would further me in my career the most, what would provide the most enjoyable work, what would keep me learning the most.

Then pick that one.

Thanks mate, you know what I mean surely. If not then I got a better feeling from company B but as you said that feeling comes from the impression I got.

A. Because I can walk to work and have something with a V10 on the drive.

It's not just about lowered cars m8

To me, the central issue here is the potential to further exposure for you.

You need to sit down and weigh up if the exposure is worth the investment of your time.

It's not just exposure but the culture/demographic, company B I feel I would fit into better as more people there are on the same boat and others who've been there. Surely you'd work somewhere you could get along with and make your day more productive and enjoyable.

Fair enough A is close but I might not like it and that would make it a drag. Yes I know that could apply to B but from what I've seen there's less chance of that.

Thank you guys, yes ultimately it will be me making my decision, but it helps to know what others would do and think.

I will keep you all updated on how it goes

So a spanner was thrown in the works today, Company A have offered a higher salary than B and it's one that took me by surprise. Decision has been made even tougher now.

What mode of transport will you be using if you were to go with B?

Hi guys, I have decided to go with company A, so let's hope the short commute is worth the hassle

B couldn't match the package but main reason is the working hours and traveling would have taken it's toll I'm sure.
