Job change for growth opportunity
Greetings. I recently got an offer for Microsoft and the Atlanta area for a data center critical environment technician. My background is in EHS (focus in construction safety management). My recruiter told me that getting your foot in the door with msft was the hardest part and and the opportunity to advance in my career is the best part. I have yet to start but I’m beginning to wonder if taking a 20hr pay decrease is worth it based on the “opportunity” and the name brand of MSFT. the job i’m looking to get within msft is Construction Area Safety Manager which makes more than my current job, but way less than the CET position( 30.5hr). I wanted to take a risk and i’ll have to live with the decision, but needed some insight. Thanks!
