    Planning Thinking

    I’m a 26-year-old planning analyst in the beverage manufacturing sector, currently earning €45k after a recent raise from €38k. However, I've hit a dead end in my career with no opportunities for advancement due to the small size of the sector and lack of movement above me. I've just completed a construction degree as I'm looking to switch fields. I have two job offers on the table: 1. A junior project controls role at a large consultancy in Dublin, offering €35k plus a €3k car allowance. The role is part of a major infrastructure program, but it comes with a long commute and likely no salary review for 20 months since it's a graduate program. 2. A PMO Administrator position at an energy company, offering €42.5k with a 5% bonus. It’s only 30 minutes away and offers a hybrid work model, but the title is a step down from my current role, and they mentioned I might be overqualified. I’m weighing whether making this career switch is worth it, especially considering the potential salary drop and the title change.

    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I’m currently at a crossroads in my career. I’m a 25-year-old supply planner and commercial professional at an alcohol company, where I started with a salary of $35k three years ago, which has only increased to $38k despite taking on significantly more responsibilities. For the past two years, I've been advocating for a pay raise, but the company is in a precarious financial situation, and I feel I’m one of the most underpaid employees. Frustrated, I developed an exit strategy and enrolled in a construction contracts management course, which I’ll complete in August. I’ve received an offer for a graduate program at a global consultancy for $38k, focusing on large-scale infrastructure projects. While I enjoy parts of my current job and have had opportunities to travel to Asia and Europe, I’m torn because just last month, my company offered me a raise to $45k, which I found disappointing given my contributions. Now, I have a tough decision to make about whether to stay or pursue the new opportunity.
