Employment Decisions [View all]
Hey y'all! Well, thanks to one potential employer taking their own sweet time in making a decision about whether to hire me, another has come along and made an offer (first one pays more, but has been in the "process" of wooing me for over five weeks! Damn HR!)
I'd rather take the higher paying job, but if they can't make a decision by this afternoon, then I'll be taking the "lesser" position. Which is too bad, because I would have liked working for the first one, even if the money offered was less. However, they are a rather large engineering firm, and have the typical molasses-slow HR department. Really, if a recruiter can vet a potential candidate in a matter of days, why can't anyone else? I've been stressed-out ever since getting considered by this other firm due to that damn HR department's apparent disinterest. (The manager that interviewed me was interested, though.)
I am curious if any of y'all might 'see' anything for me on this decision. I really hate being put into situations like this. I'd love to write a nasty letter to the one firm's HR department, but also don't want to hurt my chances or burn bridges. So, any insight would be helpful. I have to make my decision by this afternoon.
