@ahrgy,

that was a good point to consider - thanks for the advise. I’m 28 years old now and I think we have something in common. We should put ourselves in a position or job post which will give us better wage and benefit in the future-3-4-5 years from now.. so that when we are at 40s we will stick with one company and decide whether to retire or not.

i really appreciate your comment. have a nice day

I’ve been working in a Established company in Abu Dhabi, having a good salary and benefits. But my point is my career. This company is operating more than 20 years and all workers are more senior than me. It will takes time for me to be promoted coz here politics is more. Currently, I have a good offer, newly constructed company, and offering me a higher position but salary and benefits are the same. I accepted the post coz of age factor. I’m 31 right now, an Engineer and I know that I’ve been on the right path. If you are more than 40 years old you better to stick up in one company.

you are right Ed…

I just need to make sure the transfer policy. If there will be no problem I’l go to company B.

hire you? sure why not..

Para sa akin bro go for B dahil lahat naman tayo rito sa abroad especially sa middle East have no plan to reach 60 years old. Nandito tayo for a short term as possible so kailangan mataas ang salary. It is like this: gusto mo 10 years or sa 5 years with the same benefits and sahod? Or sabi mo nga mas mataas ang offer sa B. Wag mo akong kalimutan ihire ha?

thats good…
kn offers the same benefit gaya ng na mention mo above.. you should try also.

i’m thinking to leave dahil sa career jump and package.. siempre..but if kn will counter offer malamang mag stay ako.:)

ngayon wait na lang ako ng black and white.. naka pag invetigate na rin ako and sabi ng hr namin eh nag re release naman sila sa band ko heheh wish me luck.. need lots of them now..

so wait nal ang ako ng susunod na kabanata.. pag pasa ng resignation and nag counter offer, and if the price is right.. we’ll see..

thanks and have a nice day..

that’s what my husband did when he transferred few weeks ago, he photo copied his CV with remarks from the manager with all the benefits he will going to get from the new company and showed it to their HR, he asked them if they will release him or make a counter offer.

the result: they refused to release him instead pinantayan nila ang basic salary ng new company but still they cannot afford to give the other benefits like free in private hospital, 28 days annual vacation with 2 months salary and free round trip ticket, etc., so they resolved it by releasing him after 5 months pa, they allowed him to work in the new company but still visits the old one during his free time since they still need him badly during these days.

so once again good luck! i hope you will make a right decision

BTW, i got a call from kharafi’s HR last month, they offered me a job there, she called me 5 times but i refused to come for an interview, she offered me the same salary with what i have now so what’s the use of transferring, right? sabi pa nya i should come for an interview dahil pwede pa raw dagdagan ang offer nila, i still didn’t show up, so i’m thinking now that ikaw nga aalis dyan e ba’t pa ako mag papa interview, lol

naku, ang haba na ng comment ko…have a nice day!

I think you go for job offer B… both of them are well-established companies, and sabi mo nga the only problem for Company A is that you’ll have to wait for 2-3 years pa before the said project… eh di ba maraming pwedeng mangyari in 2-3 years… maaaring may pumasok na mas magaling pa sa iyo at siya ang mas mapansin at i-neglect ka… things can happen, changes can happen…

pero here comes Company B… also an established company… but the only problem is yung department na mapupuntahan mo lng ang bago… but the company as a whole is well-established na nga… so ano ang dapat mong gawin? I’d say GRAB IT!!!

sabi nga nila, “opportunity knocks only once…” at “at the end of a river is the beginning of a bigger sea…” I think, triple the salary, management position, hahawak ka pa ng tao… why not? a bigger responsibility is very stressing… pero that what makes work really exciting isn’t it? hope that helps! hehehe

ooopps.. thats frightening.. I should have asked 3x my salary if that is the case.. heheh **greedy me**..

anyway, i think the best thing for me to do is check with HR, they should release me or make a counter-offer atlease.. hehehe..

thanks for taking time to advise me..

have a nice day to you rianne
