Which job would you choose?

This is a question a friend has posed to me and I am in a quandry about how to answer.

So, I have a company that will pay benefits - that wants me to work for them, but apparently I would be working for the Marquis de Sade - well, I wouldn't report directly to her - she's a senior and there are two levels above me.

On the other hand, I have a company that wants to just string me along as a contractor and the boss (whom I adore) wants the new person to maybe make a decision about me - though it would be easier to just string me along and not pay me a: what I am worth and b: offer me any benefits.

    Tough situation, Julie. Consider the employment situation in your profession. If you choose job 1 and are miserable, how easy will it be to get a comparable job? I've made that compromise before and it gets difficult to motivate yourself to go to work some days.

    Can you share your thoughts with boss #2? If he/she knows that someone else is competing for you, you will have a stronger negotiating position. Justify why you should be hired and receive benefits and a higher salary. Highlight contributions you have made to the organization, and let them know that you WANT to work there - Happy employees are productive employees.

    Good luck!

    Go for the money. You can put up with stupid people for enough cash and in this economy, benefits and $$ outweigh nice people. Worst case scenerio, you hate it and look for a new job in a year or so all the while you're making more $$.

    ive seen that action picture. i think of maximum of human beings have chosen that existence that they get insulted once you wreck their phantasm of being something else, being heroic and righteous for raising a baby into that existence that your question completely describes.

    It has been my experience that you should always take the money - you always outlive your boss, and you can cry all the way to the bank.
