I'm 23 and currently working for Toyota as a Pro Tech, been with them for 6 years and done my apprenticeship with them etc. but I have been looking for a new job and I went for 2 interviews and got them both but I can't decide which one to go for, do I need some advice!
One of them is with a Prestige brand as a tech and a very big dealer group. Its a Permanent placement money is 10k a year better basic than what I'm currently on.
The other is with a car manufacturer research and development centre as a tech/engineer but is yearly contract work. Money is better than the prestige brand by 5k a year, more holidays etc. but I'm just worried about leaving a permanent job for contract work.
I need to think about my career progression in all of this Aswell. I no if I take the prestige dealer it will open up doors into other prestige dealers to go work for eventually. But with the R&D job I'm not sure where it would take me as its a different field. It would be nice to get off the tools as such and leave the workshop stresses of hitting targets behind, it's more of an interesting job working on future models and i goto work in a shirt and tie and it appeals to me more my only worry is it being contract.
Does anybody on here have any experience with contract work?
