We had a candidate receive an offer with a client.

He said, “no”. He has an offer with another company.

The other position pays $15K more. But they also have a reputation of letting people go quickly, if they don’t ‘hit it’ right from the jump.

The upside, and stability with our client is terrific. Long-term, it’s a clear better play.


He thought about it … short-term the other position was better … but he eventually took the position with our client.

The key factor … the long-term play. In 2 years he’ll make up the difference in income, and have a much better upside after that …. and a tremendously high chance of sustainable employment as well.

Thinking both short-term and long-term is the key when making decisions about careers.

Some situations don’t allow for it, with the need for $ right now to pay the bills.

But if you have the privilege of being able to think both short-term and long-term regarding your career, it’s a much smoother road traveled if you take the position with the best long-term opportunity.


59-80, sunshine … still looking for the much needed rain.

Make it a great day, everyone!
