I have an opportunity at the moment to switch jobs within my company, now the job i have is good, but its not challenging (which isnt me lol) and theres not really anything more i can learn, BUT the people on the team are fab and its the first job i have where i LOVE going to work....

On the other hand the new job is VERY challenging, ill be working very closly with the accounts manager, i have been doing it for a few weeks to help out, and really enjoy it, my manager has made it clear he wants me to take the new job, and feels it will help my career...he even went as far to say that he wouldnt think twice about giving me a managers position if/when one came up,when i have the knowledge i will get on this new team

I have to let him know tomorrow.....the pay is the same etc

So what is more important the people or your progression??

Of course it's subjective, but to me, progression wins out. You're at work to make money - not friends! This is another rung up the ladder, so as long as you're happy (and not being pushed) - go for it!

Stoo

Progression, no doubt

Happiness within work so you decide.

You will probably spend most of your life in the workplace, so try and make it, or have the job that makes you the happiest, as it reflects your private life too.

I would always go for progression but I'm a career girl

It depends on what you want out of life. In a couple of months / years those other people in your team could have moved on and their careers gone from strength to strength while your still sat there just because you wanted to stay where you were because you liked the people you worked with.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't want to be happy at work but what's stopping you from being as equally happy in your new role?? Yes it's another step up the ladder but surely you would still be working with nice people??

Ginge !

kim think you need to decide whats more important

dont get me wrong theres promotion in the sales part of mcdonalds but i recon you would be better off telling people you worked for mcdonlads in the accounts department

besides from what ive been told the fries are alot harder work than making the burgers

see you in germany

Progression and improved salary always wins for me

BULLSHIT to all the people who are happy earning FA but love their jobs! I'd say a fair % were plain lazy and stuck in their ways

RSKim

I know where your coming from Ive always gone for progression, but i LOVE the job i do now, im worried i may not like it as much when im not with the girls if that makes sense...ive worked with some real knobs!!!

Ginge you will see me in Germany your right there

50% pay reduction from my previous job says I am far happier

RSKim

Lambchop well im defo not stuck in my ways, ive only been there 12 months

i want more money, and the only way to do that is to move up, but im not doing with this role, its the same money, same level, just more stressful and challenging work

progress

Lads i worked with at last place were awesome, we had a right laught the crack was brilliant....but being my own boss and having my own business is far better, far more challenging and far more rewarding both money wise and satisfaction

Ginge !
