Would you pass up on a great full-time job if your current work at home 50 hrs per month job can lead to more?
Question : Would you pass up on a great full-time job if your current work at home 50 hrs per month job can lead to more?
I am currently working for a great small marketing agency from my home (the agency is about 2.5 hours drive from my house), but at the moment, the owner just allows me up to 50 hours per month. He has promised me that this job can become full time eventually as he is finding me more projects to work on. Also, he is allowing me to work on sales opportunities for us (not as paid hourly, but once the sales go through–I’ll get straight commission)…This owner has been really great to work for–he is really smart, cares about us contractors, and really knows how to run a company the smart way. I am now used to working from home and it is great to have the flexibility–I’ve also been taking some college courses. Also, I really enjoy the work overall!
On a different note, I have an interview next week with a great software company here in my city. I am really excited about it, but at the same time, I am completely unsure about going in to an office full time. I have a friend that works for this software company–she contacted me about this opportunity out of the blue last week. This is exactly what I was looking for before I started my contract job with the marketing agency, but now I am really enjoying my freedom. I’ve only been with this marketing agency for almost 4 months. At the same time, the full-time job would allow my husband and I to qualify for a new construction loan much sooner for a house that we have been planning to build sometime soon.
…I’d like to know what you all suggest. Just because I will be interviewing for the full-time job at the software company, does not mean that I’ll get it–so I probably shouldn’t be stressing about it just yet, but I like to have a plan so that when it comes to that, then I’ll be ready.
Also, I’m thinking ahead because my husband and I would like to start a family really soon, so the work at home option would be really nice when we’re at that point.

It depends on the person you are.
When you work on your own you have the chance to learn and be your own boss, you could be running your own marketing agency within a few years.When you go in to an office, that’s it, you have your set time, you do your job, you go home and every day you just do that and the money comes in at the end of the month.
Very secure and you can switch off at night.Some people like the security, some others enjoy their freedom.
I couldn’t go back to work for someone but that’s just me.
You sound very excited about this marketing person, I am sure he’s the type of person you can learn a lot from, sure at first it isn’t easy on the money but if there’s a good feeling between you it can only grow.
In an office you might find an unfriendly and arid atmosphere.. however as I said it all depends on the person you are, if you want a boss or you want to be your own boss. -

Are you looking at the full picture? here is a way to help you decide
Working for company you have
1 steady income
2 health insurance
3 job security
4 meeting new people
5 a job that you love
Now you have to figure out what you have by working at home 50 hours a month.I know what I would do,how about you ?

What you are doing now means you’ll never be out of a job, with the software company as soon as they let you off you are out of a job.. desperation and all that comes with it.
At least now you are learning marketing which you can always use to create your own job unlike all these now out-of-a-job previously on-a-good-job dummies.
Sure it’s hard at first but better dealing with some insecurity now than having it all hit you in one big lump one day in the future.
