Hi NL,
I'd need the help of Career advisors!
Hello all, I'm having sleepless nights deciding which of this options to go for.
I'm a grad of Computer Engineering. Over the course of my school days and for the few jobs i had, I became interested in ICT and Telecoms because i worked in both telecoms and IT solutions.
Recently I got an offer in Telecoms as a field Engineer while I got another in an IT Advisory in one of the Big four. These offers seem like once in a life time as there is a age limit to applying for them.
I plan to be a IT consultant many years from now but then I cant be a consultant without having an experience in the field as well.
So, I'd like to know if anyone has been in a career making decision like this where both paths might lead somewhere different.
Also, I'd like to know the pros and cons of choosing one over the other, if possible how i could get to be a consultant in both.
Thanks

Hello bro,

I would definitely advise you to go for the role of an IT in one of the big four. Telecom is a fantastic start but the truth is you have to be futuristic. Once a project ends in Telecoms, you may have to wait earnestly to get another otherwise you might be redundant.
I know this for a fact having worked in the Telecom sector for a while.

GoodLuck! Wishing you all the best.
