Job Change Delimma

I was fed up with my current capital accountant job so I went looking for another capital accountant job with a new company. I think I am close to getting an offer that's gonna pay me $10K more.



However, just last Friday my current company told me I would be move to a tax/financial report position with the same pay.



Hence the delimma in that I think the new tax/financial reporting position will give me a better resume down the road.



I already have tons of experience in capital accounting so my new job isn't gonna add anthing to my resume. Moreover, during this course of job searching, I find the market for capital accountant inferior to that of the tax/financial reporting accountant.



So either I would take the $10K and move to the new company or I would take on the new tax/FR position, stay that for a year or two and look for greener pasture a year or so down the road? What do you think?

No Spam,

So, your present employer is offering to give you on-the-job training in an area that you see as improving your employment outlook. In the process, you keep your present benefits, your seniority, your vacation, etc. As an alternative, you can take another job and make $10,000 more per year--if you are willing to keep on doing what you are already "fed up with".

The answer lied in whether you have short-term or long-term goals.
