How high up would you be in that job? If you are fairly high up, do what I do and pass the work down and take credit for someone else's hard work

equal bennies. I want room for promotion. I want to run the company someday

purplerein said:

Well then you answered your own question.

The employers of the 2 co's, are they family oriented? Do they have families of their own?

luv4all7 said:

both are corporations

If I were you, I'd take A, but I don't care about climbing the corporate ladder.

Well, then the person U'd be working for.
Do they have families? Wives/husbands/children?

luv4all7 said:

yes, to both

that's not enough information.

yes, but $10,000 is nothing to sneeze away..plus an opportunity for promotion..

purplerein said:

then there is YOUR answer

what would I do ?

a - and ONLY if i HAD to

what are your needs in life? i'd go with option a unless you had some huge need for lots more money.

Anx said:

I need lots more money...I'm just afraid of getting stressed out

purplerein said:

hmmm. i'd be happy with just another 10 grand a year, unless i were living some kind of wacky rockstar life, in which case i would naturally demand millions.

Anx said:

could I be a groupie?

purplerein said:

does that pay well? i never thought about that as a career option.

Anx said:

groupies are not paid, they just get benefits. invitations to the parties, left over scraps of food that the rock star ate...

less stress

Imago said:

if it was a thousand dollars apart, i'd agree..but ten thousand samoleans?

purplerein said:

what are you saving up for, a fleet of tallships?

purplerein said:

less stress

Imago said:

more sex?

Back to the subject- If advancement is your main goal take B. If less stress is what you seek take A. The 10 Grand could be made up with raises in a few years decide which will give you more of what you want in a career. Both companies are sound and in the same industry I take it?
