Another new start for me...
New job... Looking forward to better prospects... *prays*
Life in SH isn't that bad but there's many many reasons behind my decision.
Haven't broken the news to boss yet...
Hope everything will be fine... *stressed*

Had to make a choice out of 2 offers today...
Had a sleepless night yesterday thinking bout the situation I'm in...

Choice 1 - Banking
Job scope: Wasn't what I expected during the interview but later clarified with HR...
Should I trust them? Might not be as interesting as choice 2.
Money: Higher expectation since it's a bank... but oh well...
No diff from current pay... *sulk*
Post: New opening, thus contract
Benefits: Thou under contract, but with full benefits etc unlike SH...
room for pay review, conversion to perm
Working Hours: Long... Roadshows etc will suck up my weekends
Boss: Seems a little fierce... =/
Colleagues: Haven't met them of course but most are quite young too I think
Prospects: Good? Probably can hop to other banks

Choice 2 - Retail
Job Scope: Interesting, what I've been looking for.
Money: Same as SH... =/
Post: Perm
Benefits: Entitled to all benefits etc. Doubt there will be much chance of pay review cuz they stretched their budget... =/
Working hours: Long but during interview, manager said something bout being flexible...
Boss: Looks fierce when not smiling but pretty chatty during interview
Colleagues: Under the boss, there's a few ppl from CS... So I might be the only Mktg Exe... More work?
Prospects: Can move on to other brands but definitely don't expect good money...
It's retail afterall...

What say you?
