Ask HN: How Do You Decide Between Two Job Offers?
Offer 1:
A 3 year government contract at fairly a low stress job, on-site, with a salary of $187.5
Pros:
* After the 3 year contract comes to an end, I might get a 37 year contract, with a substantial salary increase.
* After 40 years, I can safely retire. This is the only way to retire in my country.
Cons:
- Terrible salary for the first 3 years even by my country's standards this is a joke, but, people choose this option for the years of experience not the salary.
Offer 2:
A 2 year contract at a foreign Software Development agency, working as a frontend developer, fully remote, with a salary of $1200 (Monthly).
Pros:
* Great salary!
Cons:
* Stressful
* No retirement option
