Hi everyone,
I hate posting these types of questions, but I'm at a real quandary here. I received two job offers:
1. A smaller pharmaceutical company (publicly traded, revenue in the billions, but considered small in comparison to the industry giants). The position is located in Manhattan, which is convenient because I can easily commute to school where I will be taking a few evening classes (post-bac).
2. A large telecommunications company located in the suburbs. It's a shorter commute for me, but it will be all driving. Downside is that I will have to deal with traffic on my way to school.
The work is similar in both, although I will be required to travel a few times a year for the pharmaceutical company to attend national/regional conferences. Both positions are finance/accounting related. Since graduating college, I've worked for a large investment bank and a large insurance company. I'm not familiar with the ups/downs of working at a smaller company. From what I've been told, the position in the telecommunications company is within a newly created department.
Any suggestions? I only have about 2 years of experience under my belt, so whatever company I choose, I would like to stick with them for several years if possible.
Thank you.
