Which would you rather do for money with your job?

17 Comments

Your boss is offering you a $500 a month raise if make it to work on time today, but halfway there a former employer calls you, and offers you an alternative proposition instead. Your former employer is willing to give you $30,000 in cash if you refuse the raise, and quit your job so that you can work for your former employer. The raise with your current employer will last for a period of 6 years, while accepting the $30,000 from your former employer requires you to sign a contract for 6 years. Both employers pay the same amount for your job excluding the raise or alternative cash proposition.

I'd accept the raise from my current employer. 30
I'd accept the alternative cash proposition. 29
This is WAY too hard. I can't decide. 12

    There is obviously a reason you aren't working at your previous job. Assuming you are really happy and satisfied with your current one, why change anything? I chose the first option.

    I'd rather have the 30k, cause then you could put it in the bank and it would build up.

    The raise gives you a gain of $36,000 over the six years, which is obviously more than the $30,000..

      Yes, but $30,000 invested now is worth more than $36,000 in six years.

      However, it depends if you need money right now. And $6000 in six years is not much.

    Money is money. As long as it is legal.

    My previous job was a temporary position working on a political campaign. Can't really redo that. The election is over.

    And a raise just to get to work on time. Easy, I determine what "on time" means so done and done. Thanks for the raise.

    It's hard to decide because there has to be a catch. But if there isn't and everything is the same, even the benefits and stuff. I'd choose the cash because you could put that into the bank and it would grow 10% a month, multiply that by 12 for the months, then by 6 for the years and you have made $216,000 instead of the raise, $36,000.

    Which company would make you happiest working for them? Which company is more desperate to have you work for them and would likely treat you better despite the money they are giving you?

    Consider the things that don't have anything to do with the money and you'll have your answer.
