Siemens Energy or ASMPT?
Hi friends!
I received two offers for a Field Service Engineer position at Siemens Energy and at ASMPT.
The pay is clearly the upside for Siemens Energy, but at the cost of time. They made abundantly clear I would be working 84+ hours a week. This isn’t an issue for me mentally, I’m used to that kind of thing, but that comes at the potential cost of my current relationship. If it doesn’t cost it outright it certainly places strain there. They would relocate me and then after the first year it won’t really matter where I live as I will be traveling all over for service.
ASMPT is much more family friendly, however their pay is going to come out to around half of Siemens Energy because of overtime. (The pay ends up close, but because I would work more with Siemens that’s where I’d make more money.) They’re relocating me to central U.S., which is fine and my territory is within driving distance. They also offered to keep my training close to where I live now so I have time to sell a house. ASMPT did say that the work weeks would look more like 40-50 hours per week on average.
I guess I’m really just asking which you all think would be the better company? Both of these have my personal ups and downs, so I’m a bit undecided. Money would be really great right now, but my relationship is important too.
