Job dilemma
 
What do i do, i have been offered a job 30 mile from home, i havent worked at home for years, but i have an interview in london on monday for a company who are paying £700 a week more, but i might not get that job.

What do do???

Gamble it mate. Go for it.
It will always play on your mind if you didn't go. . What if i went for it and got it.
£700 A week is alot of money.

Ahhh screw it! work from home........only live once, anyway it's only £700,:rolleyes:........anyway I hope thats of some help:D

simple as long as there's no loyalty or family/friends then accept the job as i doubt any for of contract will be signed before monday. then go for the interview and see how you get on

What do you do?

GRIFF55 14-03-2008 06:09 PM

I'm with losi xxx on this one. Take the job, go for the other interview and if it works out well you can still take the higher paid one:). If the other company desperatley want you, surely they'll wait a week??

You are saying £33k more...... how is that even a choice?

I'm not sure where you live, but I am assuming up north. Bear in mind the crazy cost of living down here.
