Dear Ariel,
I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory payment and benefits.Even the work environment is cool.But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends.I know it’s important for newcomers to get their feet planted firmly on the ground to reach their goals, but I’m scared of the idea of having nearly no free time.I still need to find a girlfriend and look after my parents.So, shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom?
Amoretto
Dear Amoretto,
I have two things to say: First, you’re lucky to have such an excellent offer, especially at a time when so many talented people are struggling to find any work at all; and second, you can’t figure out your work-life balance until you’re actually working.
Take the job.You’ll be learning, doing interesting things, working in a cool environment, and making money.If you’re given contract, make sure you understand the terms before you sign.Ask your boss how many hours a week you’re expected to work.If he tells you a number that’s much lower than what you find once you’re working, you’ll be in a better position to talk to him about it.
Give your work 100 percent.Work energetically and efficiently.If you’re devoted and focused, you might achieve more than your co-workers in less time.Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker from the beginning will give you more bargaining power.Finally, remember that taking a job doesn’t have to be a life commitment.Try to give it at least a year(two is better).If you’re really miserable after that time, look for another job that will give you more freedom.By then, you’ll have workplace experience, bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings as well.
Good luck!
Ariel
