2 good jobs, which way to go?
Ok I left a great job because I saw many others jumping ship and changes coming i wasnt sure of. I took another job for more pay in my old field, am here for about 6 months and am not really sure If I want to go through the trials that go with tis field. A different exec of the company i left contacted me and wants me to come back, working for him, at a higher pay than when i left including a promotion. The one i have presently is more stable and less pay (not much). the second one has some risks because it is a service type business. I have been thinkin about a career coach, but havent really look at them. Any ideas?

- go back to the one you had. sound like your not happy where your at now
- NO job is without risks.Think of those who got jobs with GM and Ford. At one time, this would have been a job for life. Not any more. It sounds like the co you left was in trouble, financially, but didn't go under. Your reputation must have been good for them to want you to come back. It might be they're shaping up, but still have a little bit to go and are trying to get the right people to help them get over the hump. May I suggest you get ahold of this exec, and see if you can get together for dinner. Neutral atmosphere, turn off your cell phones, no time constraints and talk it over.It is possible this is a golden opportunity, but nothing is without a price. Here,, the price is risk. I hope that you make the best decision. Just don't think 2 months ahead, think 5 years ahead.
- you should try to find another job
- I like stability, so I would likely stay put. But if the second option is something you really love. I would go for it.
