I received a call yesterday from an Australian-based company in Malaysia known as DataComm.
Ok, although I'm an IT graduate, but that doesn't mean that I know every single IT-related company in Malaysia. In short, DataComm is an IT company which specialises in networking and those cable-connecting stuffs. Now, you ask me, why in the world does a networking company call a lousy fresh grad like me for? Well, I'm sure you know the answer after reading the title of this post.
This company is interested in recruiting me as their network system support, they found me via Jobstreet, and the main purpose they called me is to perform a so-called short interview with me. Ok, I'm fine with a short interview, everything was nice & steady until...the interviewer start elaborating about the job in detail.
Ok, this job is almost similar to my current job, which is to provide support to the company's customers. The major difference between this job and my current one is...I'll list it below.
(sorry for the lousy spacing & all; still not getting used in posting in a blog... )
======================
Current - My current job
======================
Average salary
9am - 6pm working hours
Provide phone & on-site support
Local-based customers
Very small company
Software-based
Very low prospect
==================
New - The new job
==================
Better salary
3am - 9pm working hours; shift based
Provide phone support only
Customers from Australia & New Zealand
Big, multi-national company
Networking-based
High prospects with chance for promotion
=========================================
Now, tell me, if you were me, which job will you choose? Will you choose to stay at the current job, or try your luck on the new one?
By the way, I've already declined the offer for the new job. No turning back now. So now, you ask me, why am I still asking you this question? Well, I'm merely evaluating the decision I've made, so that I can further improve my decision making skill in the future.
No matter what...
I'll never regret my own decision.
Because...

It comes from the heart.

I have a friend working there. Anyway, I don't like shift-based jobs. I prefer to get up when the sun rises and sleep when the moon shines.
Hmm... i'm curious why you turned down that job. Hehehe...
Ya.. I totally agree with the 'working in shifts' thingy by grace.. that is just not right.
I also will make a same decision as your because
1. My English sux
2. I don't like work shift unless the renumeration and pay is attractive.
