I'm interviewing next week for 2 different jobs. One is being an Executive Administrative Assistant in the same city I live in. GREAT GREAT SALARY. The other is Paralegal in San Francisco, 40 miles away.

Now I am a Paralegal. I'm leaning on the San Francisco side because it's my profession. BUT the job close to home is enticing because of the money. $32 hour. As a Paralegal I will be earning about the same but there's that whole commuting thing.


I'm soooo confused. My gut is telling me Paralegal in San Francisco.

What do you think?

Say "Fuck it all!" and go work at McDonalds!

It's what I'd do!

What about benefits?? Health and dental insurance along with a retirement plan adds significantly to the salary. It should be at the top of your list on decision making. Whether you can get coverage for a SO...
Doing something different will add to your resume, increase your job skills. etc.

how will you be commuting, train or car?

i'd say san francisco too

Hmm...That's a tough one. How do you feel about possibly changing professions? I will lead you on another path...and it will look fantastic on your resume, plus the money is great.

Tough choice, Miguel. I must say, I'm someone who absolutely HATES a commute. But I also think I would adore working in San Francisco!

Who do you like better? Remember, you're interviewing them as much they are you. See which seems a better fit.

Uh, no! I'm not hating on McDonalds it's just that if I worked there I wouldn't be able to keep up with my bills.

Yes, benefits on both ends. I just need to get the specifics. Good advice, thank you.

I would be taking CALTRAIN or BART. I drove my car to San Francisco for 4 years before and it got old real quick. Parking is $25 a day.

Where will you get the most cock mate?

the way you worded it I got confused as to which is the SF job but I say go for the money. I have been working in a feild I hate for the last 12 years but the money is good

The thing is, being a Paralegal is the new profession. I've only being doing it for about 4 years. I really love it. It's just hard going from CRIMINAL PARALEGAL TO CIVIL PARALEGAL. I got a good lead through a friend.

Thanks sweety I will do that. Great advice.

I got a bad taste in my mouth about the local job. They told me that the 3 execs are really demanding, blah blah blah. I'm terrified.

The commuting thing wont bother me because I'll be able to nap or read a book instead of being stuck in traffic.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

How long is the Commute by BART? I'd say do the job in SF but i know the cost of living is much higher

mdiver said:

Not to brag or anything but cock is never a problem....

Thank you?

The commute on Bart would probably be an hour. I can never live in San Francisco. It's too expensive. Let's see San Francisco rent.....$1300 if I'm lucky, for a studio. San Jose, where I currently live, rent Zero. Yeah, I think I'll stay here.

I also have CalTrain that can take me to San Fran. They have an express. That's about an hour or so.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Get the one with the commute then mate and get that bike

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

can you move closer to the City but still be in the South Bay?

mdiver said:

no gay man should have a problem getting cock in the bay area

mdiver said:

It's funny that you say that because all I really want to do right now is TRAVEL and get my Yamaha or Honda Bike. Oh yeah, and get rid of those darn bills. I need to win the LOTTO or something.

By the way, what you sent me is going to make a big difference in getting this job. For that I'm greatful.
love ya meat!
M

looks like you have some options miggy
definately go with the "whatever is the best fit for you" advice

if you hate either one you can always keep your eye open for something better

ehuffnsd said:

Trust me, and I'm not even all that. There's a market for everyone I tell ya.

Pictures of my testicles will help you get a job?????

Anytime friend

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

yup. i'm thinking about moving to the Bay Area one day

mdiver said:

You're a nut.....

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Whatever you do my friend you will succeed, that is just YOU. Be well.

Compare the salary, benefits, location. But most importantly pick the job that really interests you.

I work in a Law firm too

Sweetie, the decision may not be yours. You may only get the San Fran job. You have to decide if you get that one, if you are willing to accept it.

Good luck, love.
