Dilemma

This question has been bothering for the past couple of weeks:

To stay or not to stay? To change or not to change?

Sighz.

WARNING: This is going to be another serious topic. Time to close the browser if you are not interested in hearing my woes.


Here's the story.....

2 weeks ago, I was invited by my ex-contractor to the annual CNY dinner with my ex-company. For those who are thinking when the heck did I have an ex-company (like my Pinkies), I did had an internship ( http://yoniko.blogspot.com/2008/06/1st-interior-project.html ) for more than a year in a company and even did an interior job. @##%&*@#$%&*
Anyway, as I was saying, I went for the dinner and my ex-boss sorta hinted to me that there is a vacancy available in the firm currently.

Thus, that created the question which had bothered me for the past 2 weeks.

To stay or not to stay? To change or not to change?

Sighz.


Let's analyse the situation.


Stay in current job!!!

Pros:

1. $$$$$ - Higher pay + confirmed annual increment + bonu-es (note that -es)

2. LUXURIOUS working space ( http://yoniko.blogspot.com/2009/02/improved-working-environment.html )

3. Great colleagues whom I get along with quite well

4. Close proximity of good & cheap food, shopping and amenities

5. Regular working hours (8.30am - 6pm. Late OT few times a month)

6. Sponsored overseas scholarship (if I decide to work long enough)


Cons:

1. Jobscope. (I am writing and reading more than drawing and browsing. I am an ARCHITECT for goodness sake! I HATE MEMOS, CIRCULARS AND APPROVALS!!!!! If I don't leave soon, I will be stuck in here forever and EVER!)

2. Female boss (shall not elaborate more on that.)

3. Regiment. (shall not elaborate more on that too.)




Change job!!!

Pros:

1. Jobscope related to what I studied i.e. REAL Architecture stuff. Stuffs which I have interest and passion it. Stuffs which I can see concrete achievements done by myself in my lifetime.

2. More travelling opportunities.

3. Cosy working environment. It is like a family working together.

4. Good staff welfare. When I was working there, Boss sponsored us for a company trip (to Bangladesh though). Hamper for each of us during Xmas & CNY (All given by cilents and contractors). Occasional treats e.g. champage and cheese session. Free dinner whenever we work late. Endless supply of beer, wine and cappuccino in pantry.

5. Start work at 930pm (but end work at god knows what time).


Cons:

1. $$$. Lesser pay and I am expecting a pay cut. No annual increment. 1 bonus a year. (I hope.)

2. Dominated by females. Even rhe 2 male team leaders are gone. Expecting lots of catfight and attention seeking from boss.

3. Longer working hours. (OT everyday.)

4. Small working space and no internet. (Table of width<1m.>

5. No food and amenities in close proximity. The closest one is Newton Circus Food Centre which is like few hundred metres away. Try walking on heels at 1pm to a place which has no good food. Most of the time, we split into a few cars and venture to different places for lunch. And I hate Novena Square.

6. 15-20min walks away from MRT. (Spare a thought for me can? In heels leh!?! =p)


SO............
To stay or not to stay? To change or not to change?

Any advice?

SIGHZZZZ.
