ok so I had every intention on staying with the company I've worked for over the past few years, they have offices here in NYC so it was a no brainer for me to just make the transition with them and I've already gotten things moving on that, set to begin in August.
but what I also did was brushed up my resume a bit, updated it and posted it. I don't think it ever hurts to check your market value once in a while. to see what type of jobs you could grab IF you needed to move to other pastures. kinda like when a married woman goes out with a fitted dress on to see if she still "got it". lol.
one of the companies that are interested in me are offering a way higher salary. they're based in Manhattan. the only drawback is that its a newer, smaller company, which to me, means less stability, but on the other hand, it also means that there's an opportunity to grow WITH them.
my heart tells me to remain loyal but my brain is telling me bitch you're in NYC, this is not the time to pass up more money. :ohwow: :ohwow:
I'm speaking with their HR rep tomorrow , and doing my own research as well. imma play it cool and subtly let it be known that they are ONE of my options here. which is the truth lolz :supluv: maybe that'll get them to add in one or two more coins to sweeten the deal :ohwow:
imma call up bestie tonight, i usually let her toss the coin on something like this.
Go with the new company!
New people.. New attitude .. A chance to say you at least tried it!
U can always go back to your old company if things don't work out!
You don't want to live in regret!
New York is about taking risks!
Get money!

fuck that
if you've been with the current company for some time and you're a great employee -- they'll take you back
leave. get the new coin. if it sucks, you have somewhere to go back to if necessary.
Although it may be a smaller company they could still be well established. Just do your research to see how long they've been around. Also, check their reputation. You can even check to see if they are on a site called Glassdoor.com. See if any current or previous employees left any reviews about working for them.
Good luck with everything sis!
Don't get stuck in what your comfortable with. I'd say step out of your comfort zone and go for the new mess.
Be careful making a run for the money. You are used to the culture of your company now. You may go over and get a larger paycheck and be part of a company with completely incompetent employees and poor management. That may not be worth the larger salary.
Now, if the company you're with now won't pay you more, you can renegotiate your salary and use the new job as leverage. Loyalty >>>>

Sometimes I think I'm loyal to a fault.
knowing damn well that these companies will fire you without second thought if it meant saving their bottom line.
but I think when you feel a company's been SO good to you, it's hard. If you work for a shitty ass place then I believe its easier to chuck the deuces. :plzstop: I'm kinda upset that I posted my resume. but maybe something inside of me wanted something different and new. if I were that content why even take the time to update and post it?

I'm the same way
But then I think about all the points u made and knowing how short life is ...
It's time for something fresh!
U can always come back IMO
Test out the waters..
Get that new money xxxx
U may not even like the New York staff at ur current company
(http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr286/Anniemations-n-more/QVSPR97B7E/gjv.gif)
My advice.
Go for the More money, New company, Room to Build WITH them...
You have a lot of experience under your belt, to the point that if something falls thru, you can always get employment with another company that is stable.
How many diamonds is your "loyalty" buying you right now? Closed legs don't get fed bvy.

YES AFRO.
Slay.
And I know what you mean, with trying to be loyal... especially if a company has been so good to you. It's almost like leaving a marriage that is blissful. Lol.
I had to make a similar decision last year.
And I went for the new and more coin.
Best decision ever, in every aspect.
At this point, it's my CAREER that matters, not my JOB.
But even if it wasn't the best, at least I know I can say I tried it vs. thinking what could have been.
What's the update on this?
Sometimes it's not always about money.
Sis just try and pick the one where you see the most potential for you; in terms of growth, happiness; living potential as far as location is concerned.
And I'd honestly pray on it.
Then your gut will tell you what's the best one.
When you meditate you quiet the mind; let your soul speak to you.
This is a big choice!
Omg I'm happy for you sis!!!
I'm so happy for you sis :stressed:

Omfffff :stressed:
Love you too ❤️❤️❤️😍
IDK this is tricky
Better coin but coworkers and management could be the absolute pits. If there's no room for growth at your current company I'd pump though. At least you'd be expanding your resume a bit.

UPDATE:
I love the job so far. Everyone's so cool, the staff is very diverse, on every level. Which I love to see. There's not many other Black men there but the ones who are there ... i want to have their kids :ohwow: foine :ohwow:
I'm also the youngest new person to start....most people at this company are older and further into their careers than I. Which is good. They say that if ur the smartest person in the room, ur in the wrong room.
