Confused about 2 job offers, help

[roy.or.r]

What do you mean by electrical engineer? It's covers a vast spectrum. I worked in semiconductors for 20 years. 15 of them were doing rotating 12 hour shifts. It you have a job offer on days, take it. The shift pay might be better but it will take years off your life. I earn less now than I was doing, but I am far happier doing Mon - Fri days. Rotating shifts fuck you right up.

I work on transmission planning and energy markets here. My shift is basically going to be 12 hours night for 3 days, a day off, then 3 day shifts for 3 more days and then 4 days off.

Alternating day to night shifts is shit and will suck the life out of you.

Bollocks to that. Stay on days.

San Diego would be my choice.

Good luck, whatever you decide, Blue.

Take the San Diego one, guy I used to work with went to a Microsoft conference there before doing some work in Houston, he raved about San Diego.

Also, the bigger company will be better on your CV, there might be a possibility to come off shifts too? Worst case get another job in 12 months if it wrecks your head and blame the shifts and get more money.

San Diego mate.

You'll be seen as forbidden fruit and will be swimming in minge.

I worked 12hr continental shifts 20 years ago and always felt fucked. Getting off them was the best thing i did. Take regular hours if you can.

Because I have heard some inappropriate comments about my skin colour. But I don't want to delve deeper into that here.

? Odd to mention it if you don't want to discuss it. Hope your not a red

I have always worked days. Because of covid and no mixing of shifts, we had to do 6=2 and 2=10 shifts for just over a year. Didn't mind early shift but was always tired. Hated late shift, just sat about waiting for work, watching the clock.I couldn't wait to get back on days. The thought of adding a night shift as well would be a killer. Job 2 is your best option, in my opinion, for what its worth. Good luck in your choice.
