Decisions

Which would you choose?

Company A

Pros
- Creative ad agency with big name clients, would be working with interactive division

- Personable manager, seems like someone you can easily work with, and was very impressed with your credentials and wants you on their team.

- Good potential for a stable environment


Cons
- Compensation is below what you would hope, though with your experience, they're willing to give you something fair or more than originally offered

- Would have to relocate to Southern California, where they are located, which is not necessarily a con, but if you have strong ties to where you are located now, may be difficult to do.

Company B

Pros
- Familiar faces. Quite a few people who you've worked with before are at this company, so fitting in wouldn't be too much of a problem

- Quite possibly a mirror-image of your previous company: same industry, similar types of products, similarly targeted customer

- The work is something you can do in your sleep.

- Much shorter commute

Cons
- Pay is much lower than you you'd like

- Position is basically low man on totem pole, is a contract position and could last only through the summer, or longer depending on the workload. So stability is not one of it's strong points.

- The work is something you can do in your sleep

Company C

Pros
- Start-up with potential for large growth, starting on something from the ground up

- The opportunity to build a process the way you see fit. Large amount of autonomy

- Easy commute. Park the car at the BART station and spend less on gas by taking public transit to work.

- If kept long term, compensation will be amenable to skills

Cons
- Start up with potential for quick demise

- Work scrutinized more easily because of large responsibilties

- Large learning curve

- Potential for long-term questionable, may only be needed for a month, but could be for longer, depending on how well you perform.

Make your choice. You have till Monday.
