What should I do next?
Profile:
Grades: 8,7,7
GNEM: Journalism (Private College)
Work Ex: 3.5years + career breaks
Role: Marketing
(Caveat: Only one big organisation experience, left that job last year)
Current organisation has wfh model with flexible work timings and a 44% hike on my last job.
I’ve a new offer for an onsite role which is offering me 100% hike, but the role will be very demanding (like no social life or studying capability). Though I’m sure this role will give me great exposure and a great network than can help in the long run.
Since don’t have a very good brand tag with me, and no technical skills apart from my domain. I fear that in the long run I might lose out on managerial positions or might not be able to crack open better doors if I don’t focus on getting an MBA.
Options:
Stay in my present org and study for exams like CAT or GMAT to get a brand tag, and be able to qualify for better managerial roles in the long run.
Leave the present org and maximise for present day learning, and future hopes for a better network and slightly better pay in a new city.
I am paralysed by choices as of now.
What do I do?
