fresh grad that needs advice
Problem/Goal:
Super torn ako whether i-accept ko na ba yung offer from a startup company or i-risk ko na hintayin yung outcome nung application ko sa isa pang company. I genuinely liked the startup and the people I met there, pero after reading the contract, nagkaroon talaga ako ng second thoughts.
Context:
Fresh grad ako from the province and goal ko talaga is mag-relocate to Metro Manila for my first job. I already received an offer from a startup company, but after reading the employment contract, dun ko lang narealize na mas broad pala yung role than I initially understood and mas sales-oriented/quota based din siya which hindi ko masyado gusto. At the same time, sobrang nagustuhan ko talaga yung people and work environment based sa interviews, kaya ang hirap din i-let go. On the other hand, may upcoming interview pa ako with a more established company for a role that’s more aligned with what I actually want, pero interview stage pa lang ako so wala pa ring assurance na magkaka-offer ako.
also, it’s been less than a month pa lang since I graduated (if this info matters) and the job offer I received was from the very first company na nag interview sakin
Previous Attempt:
Binasa ko nang mabuti yung contract, pinag-usapan namin ng parents ko yung offer, and we shared the same concerns regarding the compensation, workload, and startup risk. I also listed down the pros and cons of both companies and tried getting different perspectives before making a decision kasi ayoko talagang magsisi sa first full-time job ko.
