I am now working in a place, big organisation, but little
resources.
As such, I am forced to multi-task and do a lot of stuff that I
have no experience, skills nor knowledge to carry out properly. I
am not complaining cuz this is a great opportunity for me to learn
and shine. I have never done PR and now I actually do press
releases, send to media and manage to get media coverage for my
organisation.
The pay is so so... reasonable. Not really rocket high kind of pay,
despite my heavy duty and achievements. My boss trusts me a lot,
but often, I get very annoyed with her indecisiveness and bugging
(typical of female boss).
The project that I am working on is a new project, newly developed,
endorsed by Ministry and it's a national level kind of
project.
I have a few staff. All quite hardworking. But they are not really
experienced. In fact, many things that I am doing now, they cannot
help me. Eg. they are not bilingual. If there is something that
requires chinese language, it will be done by me. On top of that, I
have to plan and execute PR and publicity kinda things (which is my
primary duty). Their inability to help me really gives me more work
(when my primary role is heavy enough). I tried getting temp staff,
and end up the temp staff also cannot help me much (instead, he
gives me more work by asking me 101 questions whenever I ask him to
do something).
Despite of all the complaints, I know I can move far from here if I
stay on. As it is now, I am exposed to media interview, working
with ministry and so on.
The project that I am working on will continue to succeed and grow.
As it is, I really have a blue print of what I am going to do in
the next few months and next financial year.
Today I rec'd a call from a friend who wants to recommend me to his
company (I didn't even write in to apply for any job). He needed me
to go see his GM today. But tomorrow I have a major event going on
and today I was really busy. His company was really keen and he is
trying to fix an interview for me on Monday. I have a feeling that
this company might be able to pay me higher... $500 to $1000
more.
But if I join the new company, I will lose all the exposure and
stop learning new things. I will be going back to doing sales (I
hate sales).
On the other hand, I love money.
What do you think I should do?
