I've decided...
I've made the final decision to join the bigger firm. Actually the salary is lower, and the location isn't as great, but I thought I should tough it out for at least a year. The name will look great in my CV. Nobody will know about the smaller firm. I know the big firm is probably more bureaucratic, and will involve more statistical work, but I figured that all these will do me good in the long run. I can tell people that I do business analytics in one of the world's largest consulting firms. So, it's now time to pray that I'll have a great time at T!
Btw my other concern with the company is with my immediate supervisor. I have no idea whether I can work with the person, because the person hasn't been hired. They're still trying to recruit a manager for the team. I hope it's going to work out... because a bad boss will make me dread going to work every single day. It's also the primary reason why I left my previous assignment...
The good news is that my boss' boss interviewed me and he knows who I am. And according to the recruitment manager, he's positive about me. His comments were that I'm very "switched on" and "intelligent". I'm glad! I hope he'll remember me for a long time. Lower level employees like me can only pray that they don't get forgotten in the huge organization.
