Accept a new job offer or stay at current? I thank you for your help/opinion as I am confused on what to do.?

Question

Thanks for your help - I will be quite specific as you don't know me so I feel comfortable sharing.

1. My current job pays 37500 no bonuses no commissions
offer is 35000 with bonuses and commissions (target 50-60k)

2. Current job title FAR more impressive then future as I hope to become a C-Level exec in future...

3. No expectations really in current job, therefore no opportunity for advancement or recognition
Future job - certain number of calls per day (30, quite low) and possible advancement. I am not sure I like cold calling although...

4. Current job - Boss who i am 100% certain that I am smarter then (boss is mid level manager and steals my ideas)
Future job - boss APPEARS to be quite smart

5. Current job not all that terrible, but I feel that company does not value my position. Also, I took a 17,000 pay cut to work here.

The real dilemma is that I have been here for only 9 months - will it get better or should I run?. Should I stay or should I go?

Answer 1

it sounds as though you would be happiear at the latter of the two so just go with your heart on this one and the pays not bad either

Answer 2

this is just my opinion....
i would prefer the offer because although the pays lower than b4..i think i can gain new experience as i'm working with someone that smatter than me.
there's a possibility to get a promoted or advancement.
even thou you only work there for 9 months but if think there's nothing more left for you...you should try something new..
but you must also think of your other responsibility..like family...kids for example..
good luck!!

Answer 3

It sounds like the future job could be alot better for you, much more promising of advancement and it really seems like you really want to go for it.

Answer 4

It never gets better, only worse. I would already be there.
