I'm torn between 2 jobs that I've received 内定(offer) for. For context, this is my 2nd 転職 and I'm 26F
- WFH but only 契約社員(contract employee) for 3 mos (renewable). This makes me anxious cause there's no assurance or security in this. This also pays less than my current one and the other offer. I'll be down to take this just because it's WFH. I also like the working hours (10:00~19:00) cause I'm not a morning person lol I just really can't wake up early no matter how early I go to bed the night before. This company also made several mistakes regarding my interview hours. The deadline for answering the offer also states 11/11/24 (Fri) but I realized 11/11/24 is a Monday so i suppose they meant 10/11/24 Friday and made a very important typo. Would it be possible to ask for more time or that would be a red flag for them?
- On-site but 1 and a half hour away from me. Working hours are 8:00-17:00 but I'd have to leave the house around 6:30 am if I decide to take this. This is also contract employee for a year but I know people who were in the company and became 正社員. This pays more than the WFH and this will add strong skills and experience to my resume.
Which job would be better? I'd appreciate any insights.
To add: I can't reply to the comments due to low points…. anyway, #2 follows American holidays so maybe less holidays for me. I'll be working on Camp Zama and I also can't move places yet due to my current financial situation. The only reason I'll be choosing #1 is that its WFH. I can probably take it for the meantime while finding a new job again but I'm pretty sure I won't get the same pay on the #2 anywhere else.
I'm also a PR so I'm thankful for that one. I don't like either jobs but #1 is more easier or something I can handle? I guess. #2 is a litle bit heavy with more responsibilities. I think the WFH will give me more life and work balance since I like to travel as well. But to strengthen my resume, #2 is the best option.. I don't really know which to choose.
