Answer 1

Here's your golden opportunity that only comes once per job. Go back to the new employer and tell him the truth, then give him the option of beating your old boss's new offer. It's a good sign for you that your old boss wants to keep you but don't give the impression that you're taking advantage. Try to make them each realize it's a dollars-and-cents issue with you and not extortion. They're looking out for themselves and you're just looking after you.

When it's said and done follow your gut. That takes in factors like commuting distance, benefits, working environment, cordiality, workload, stress, and a hundred other things.
Good luck.

PS: there are things about a new place you don't find out until you work there awhile. There is value in knowing what your employer's warts are. The new one isn't going to tell you his.

Answer 2

May I ask why you took a job that pays less money. Are there skill, network or future career prospects over the mid to long term that have made this cut worth it? What will the new job pay beyond probation?

It is never too late to go back to an old job if your boss wants you back but I think you really have to answer the question (for yourself) of why you would given the fact that you just left. Better to base this decision on the benefits of the job and not just the money.

The other advice I will offer is to look at "total compensation" and not just the hourly wage. Sometimes you can make less in salary but the healthcare benefits, tuition reimbursement policy, annual bonuses, vacation, etc. plus your salary can total more than a position with higher salary but lower benefits value.

Answer 3

It is a question of ethics. If you accepted the job, you are obligated to show up for training and work. Your boss should have acted sooner if he wanted to keep you.

Explain to your boss that you cannot back out because it would mean breaking your word. However, you will probably be on probation for a while on the new job. If you really want your old job back, you can decide to quit the new job. remember, however, that the company is paying for your training. They are making an investment in you. If you really want the old job, talk to the new employer before you start training and explain the situation. If they have no objection to relieving you from your obligation, you have no problem.

Which job has the best chance for advancement and future prospects? In the final analysis, you should maintain your ethics, but you should also do what is in your best interest.

Answer 4

Sometimes its worth taking a pay cut if the job is more fitting. Im starting a new job next week thats less money but its a better environment. Figure out what you need.

Call them and tell them that you are not interested with the job anymore and that you have decided to stay to your old job.

Answer 7

If the old one wants to keep you and is making it worth your while, then stay!

Answer 8

Only you can decide. Ask yourself which position holds more potential for future advancement and earnings.

Answer 9
