Today I recieved two job offers on the same contract.The first is with the contactor who has been awarded the job and the other is with the client as a resident engineer.
My problem is which one do i pick? As an engineer for the contractor I'd be doing what I like best (bridge construction)but my pay would be less, long hours with losts of stress and hassle.
Where if I went with the RE's post I'd have more pay, set hours and less stress, but I kind of feel I would not have the same worth being an inspector of works rather than doing the work, or am I just being childish in my approach?Is it time to move on?
The ironic thing is that I did not apply for the RE's post, my name was taken from a panel that I had done an interview for over a year ago for a similar postion.
Is there any body out there that was ever faced with this conundrum, I'd like to read your views.
Thanks.
