How do you choose between job offers?
Today I received job offers from not one, but two companies. Company A is a company I have worked for before. I asked my former manager to recommend me as I wanted to posaibly go back and he did really great in speking to all the decision makers to secure me a place. I had only one interview with my future manager, we clicked well. When I worked for this company before I totally loved it. I had a lot of work, but my efforts were always appreciated. I had great reputation even within the senior leadership team and the CEO team. Everyone knew my name and my word was always trusted. I left due to personal reasons and now an year later that I am in search for a job it was natural to re-apply there.
The other company, let's call it company B looks like an interesting place.to work but extremely process oriented. From what I heard in the interview they blindely follow processes, which bothers me because I like the opportunity to improve and optimize the work process. Work as a volume might be much less than in company A, and the salary is much better.
With what both offers provide I can pay my bills and maintain my standard of life which is good. If money were not a factor I would always choose company A, but with the money factor I am in doubt. Should I listen to my heart and ignore the money?
