Hold out for second job offer?

Each is dangerous.

Why wouldn't you take job 2 if offered?

You'll never be free working for someone else

Both jobs are offering compelling things with a couple of warts. Specifically, job #2 is a 30 minute drive away when there isn't traffic, so during rush hour, I'm looking at nearly an hour commute. Plus it requires some sales, which kinda sucks. But money is always alluring, and the company has their shit together.

Job #1 is a comfy 10 minutes away, I already know and enjoy all of my coworkers, but they're still disorganized and I'm worried that it's like going back to an ex. You miss the good things and ignore all the shit that made you crazy.

Both are reputable, large companies, with the same basic benefits and shit.

And you'll never have a restful night of sleep owning your own business. You win some, you lose some.

If you work 260 days of the year, job #1 will take 87 hours of commuting, while job #2 will take 260 hours. How much do you value those 173 hours of difference? I always value this time above everything, which is why I either work from home or not work at all.

I definitely value them. But I guess it's relatively important to note that I'll be out on market visits and stuff like that a fair amount, so it's not hard set that I'll be in the office every day.

But that is a staggering number to look at.

Keep your first job. It's the wiser choice. Some say that it's a bad decision to go back to a company that knows you almost left them but I did it and have done well for myself 3 years later.

Keep in mind I already DID leave them, six months ago. They called me and asked me to come back.

Then go back. Nice people, better commute, no fucking sales. Why would you ever do sales?

>>2242083
Accept the offer, then if job#2 works out hand in your notice to #1. Simple. Unless you are a jew or some other member of an elite group and the message about your infidelity will spread. But if that was the case I doubt you'd be asking for advice on /biz/

Well, it's media sales/account management. The money is insane compared to other opportunities. Plus it's a company that everyone in my industry uses, so I'm not in bad shape.

The sales job is Expedia (selling to hotels, not people), the original gig is Caesars Entertainment.

I'll still have to work with job #1 if I take #2, and these people are my friends, so it's not smart of me to fuck this up. I'm also on thin ice with a very powerful guy in company #1, so if I came back and left, he might be able to keep me from working in this town for a while.

Why did you leave job #1 and when you say "disorganized" do you mean that financially? As in, could collapse in a few years? They could be desperate atm.

>>2242083
Take job one. Quit after 2 weeks if offered job two. Accept generous offer from 1 and shit on them for it.

I see no problem here.
