J1 and J2 Dilemma
I’m currently facing a difficult decision and would really appreciate some guidance.
I am still employed in my current job (J1), but I’ve recently been hired by another company (J2) and will be starting there around mid-June.
Here’s my situation:
Job 1 (Current)
- Work setup: Onsite, 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM (with flexible time)
- Commute: About 10 km from home (around 30 minutes drive)
- Benefits: Complete government benefits, free coffee and meals in the office, HMO provided for me, with the option to enroll dependents (employee pays for dependents)
- Work environment: Very relaxed, non-toxic, and ideal for me
- Flexibility: As long as tasks are completed, I have a lot of freedom
- Leave: 15 PTOs per year
- Role: Rank-and-file (currently acting as Team Lead)
Job 2 (New Offer)
- Work setup: Work-from-home, 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM
- Benefits: No benefits included
- Work environment: Also very relaxed and manageable
- Leave: 12 PTOs per year
- Role: Managerial position
- Compensation: double the salary of Job 1
I am considering taking both jobs simultaneously, but I’m worried about whether my body can handle the schedule long-term.
At the same time, I don’t feel comfortable leaving Job 1 because:
- The HMO is very important for my family, especially my kids
- The work environment is stable, stress-free, and something I genuinely value
What's your take on this?
