Career vs. salary earned & NDIC recruitment test
I have a degree and MBA. All my life, I have been dreaming of career as top administrator or HR personnel. Since my graduation three years ago, I have been working in a one man biz firm who I must confess pays above average. As admin manager, I earn 100k after tax monthly. I started on 40k but am now earning 100k after 3 years. But one ugly side of the owner is that he fires at will and at the slightest provocation (just like all 0ne-man biz). Since I joined the company 3 years ago, I have seen as many as 40 staffs sacked even though the staff strength is between 25 – 30. Now I craved for a change in a bigger firm where I can be assured of job security and where I can face real admin/hr tasks and develop my career but I would not want to go for anything less than 100k as monthly pay. If I stay in this company I know I can earn like 150k within a year because the owner reviews salary on a yearly basis until this global credit crunch sets in but can as well get sacked within a year. But some people would tell me if I can survived for 3 years where average of 15 staff are sacked in a year, it must I fit into the system and good enough which means I should not be afraid of job loss. In as much as I want a job as pure admin/hr personnel; I am saddened when I read thread that most admin/hr manager in a medium size companies are earning even less than what I am earning meanwhile I do more of computer/secretary/Admin works which involve printing, filling, handling office supplies, etc.
I am in a fix and need your candid advice

N.B. I just got a mail inviting me for a recruitment test. Does anybody have idea of the test format and also any idea about job prospects at NDIC
