So, I've been with the company that I am at now for about seven years. I'm fairly happy there, but recently, the opportunity came up to jump on a differen ship. When faced with tough decisions, my Dad always recommends doing a "Ben Franklin", which is where you write the pros and cons down next to each other and see which list is longer.
I don't know why I'm putting that list here, but it just feels appropriate to get it out.
So, here we go. The pros are for staying where I am.
| Pros | Cons |
I've built a great team The product I've built for my company is my baby Crime is low where we live Everything here is a "known" I will miss my co-workers, especially my counterpart in Germany | Pennsylvania is no longer attractive to me or the family I don't trust my boss anymore There is little more growth opportunity I have no mentors left at my current company The opportunity company seems more professional: I could learn more from their staff |
That is what I was afraid of... they are pretty even...
