What to do?

Got some job offers. Now let's see:

  1. Current company- Pros: travel inbound almost every week, possible conversion from contract to permanent, good network. Cons: conversion could result with a pay-cut, career prospect not clear
  2. Previous company- Pros: can travel further, possible longer projects in Middle East and Africa starting after Eid Mubarak. Cons: company still recovering and not doing well, late salary payout (28th instead of 23rd)
  3. An established international company - Pros: better prospects ("Hi! I used to work at "), also will be stationed at project sites instead of desk-bound. Cons: no chance of travelling outbound, career prospect not clear
  4. A new unit in a construction company - Pros: new focused area, can leverage and develop expertise. Cons: working on Saturdays (gasp!!), desk-bound forever
Guess I'll wait what's the conversion offer is like. Besides, the economy is still bad to job-hop, rite?
