So I have 2 job offers in hand and I have been really confused on which one I should go for. I will talk a bit about my current job and then will go into the offers I have.
Currently I work for a Municipal Utility in Minneapolis. It's a normal 9 to 6 job with lot of flexibility (although my current job absolutely doesn't like us working from home). I am an Electrical Engineer here and most days everything is fairly normal and stress-free. However, the office politics sucks and almost all of our board members and staff are very conservatives with no forward thinking at all. Not surprised since they are all Trumpites.
I have one job offer in Minneapolis with a nice pay raise and it's very similar to my current job. Normal 9 to 5, with good benefits and flexibility. The only downside to this is since it's a small company, I don't actually see a lot of growth for me here.
The other job offer I have is from an actually very big energy utility in San Diego, a place I would love to live. But here is the problem. It's a shift job, where I will be working on both day and night shifts alternatively. The base salary for this offer is a bit less than the one in Minneapolis but the performance bonuses are huge here. Additionally, I do see a lot of growth for me here with tons of new things to learn. However, I have never worked shift jobs before and I don't know if I would actually be able to handle it.
Any suggestions Blues? Is anyone here working on shift jobs? Any pros and cons?
Cheers!!
