Contract's up (by way of a change ) and I've been offered two jobs. Always the way. Tis also always the way that I will pick the wrong one!

One's for the BBC in White City, one's for BDO International at Bond Street. Now I've done the upsides; BBC is the BBC, BDO will be easier to get to, and the downsides; BDO is right next to Oxford Street, BDO is right next to Oxford Street

So what do I do? Both pay the same and last just as long as each other. Anyone got any experiences of working at either company?

Any help appreciated.

BBC will prob stand for more ground on the CV tho

Chop: , you KNOW that though!

Well you'd think R4N, but BDO is a top 5 finance company and the only one in the top 100 companies to work for... and BBC have had a few walkouts recently.

Tricky.

Am thinking of going back to BBC, telling them the score, explaining it'll ass an hour to my day to work there and hold my breath... they might offer me more cash lol

skindemon

do you mean BDO Stoy Hayward, or are you referring to a different BDO?

I work for BDO Stoy Hayward, and if that is the company you are talking about, then I would highly recommend them!

Cola

Yep Stoy Hayward it is! Worked there long? Do they rock?

I see you have time for the net lol.

skindemon

lol mate!!!

Erm, yeah, they're a quality firm.

I've been with them now for about 10 months (started on the graduate scheme).

Very friendly people, good career prospects, nice atmosphere to work, all round top firm.

I think the recent awards do show what a good place it is -
Top 100 places to work
Top 100 brand
Top 100 graduate employer
Accountancy Age 'Employer of the year'



What job have you been offered?

Cola

Gonna be in IT on the service desk, contract but then aren't they all.

Please don't tell them I spend my life on here lol.

go for MDO then - sounds like a top place

skindemon

aha! Cool.

Have spent a fair amount of time on the phone to our IS Dept, but hey, seem a decent bunch of people.

Think they've recently had a new top boss in the dept, so he could be bringing more peeps in.

From me, I would really recommend BDO. However, can't speak for the BBC at all.
