Liss:

Why do you consider it a dumb question? You might have experiences that makes the question seem dumb but in reality its the experience I am banking on. Not everyone has had the opportunity you've had working in either place.

Considering you are regarded as a veteran in the career and travel section, I can say you just lost some of the respect I had for you.

P.S I didn't bribe the moderator to put it on the front page. I just needed a few reasonable responses.

Hmm. You do have a point. But hey, I still think it's a dumb question. Ranks right up there with the 'ICAN or ACCA which is better' thread. In fact, I'm not sure which one of the two is stoopid-er

Did you sit and think about the question, a little at least, before you threw it out there?

Whatever, dude. Just realise that lots of people battle this question in their lives. Count yourself lucky you don't.

Liss: Whatever, dude. Just realise that lots of people battle this question in their lives. Count yourself lucky you don't.

You are sha trying your best to convince me that this question isn't dumb

Well, you said it!

@Ajanlekoko,

Are you gonna contribute and share your experiences now?

Liss: @Ajanlekoko,

Are you gonna contribute and share your experiences now?

Okay, sure.
I have worked both in multinationals and one-man businesses.
There is nothing to compare. They are both jobs. Multinationals also pay lousy, while some one-man companies pay very well, for example.
People should stop making nonsensical comparisons, and face their jobs or careers, or whatever they have.

If you don't know why you are working where you are, then you have a very serious problem.

Happy now?

Not particularly.... You still have lost some of my respect sha.

Liss: Not particularly.... You still have lost some of my respect sha.

hehehehe. I didn't even know I had it.
Not to worry, it won't be missed

Someone already answered your question.

Shakara123: Whichever you choose is a function of where you want to be, your career goals, whether or not you are lazy or you like a challenging environment...etc.

Like I would always advice, never begin your career in a one-man business if you have a choice to make. A multinational will most likely train you, and prepare you for greater opportunities (if you know what you want). A one man business will make you feel like a star when truly you are not even close.

Have you thought of what happens if the one man biz goes down?

Also consider how future employers will perceive you when you say you have being with Tayo and Co for 4 years as against a known name whose business processes can't be hard to fetch.

Money is never a motivating factor. It is only a hygiene factor. Its presence will not motivate you, but its absence will demotivate you. Never consider pay to knowledge especially as a starter, else you may just become irrelevant soon if not careful.

Life is all about choice and only responsible people accept the fall outs of the choices they make...especially when it does not go well as planned. Think it through and ask good questions. That will guide your decision. Pray too.

Liss, although the information you posted is incomplete, I think its your decision that matters most.
Just like asking us if you should marry a white man or a black man.

@Ajanlekoko,

More reason you should have treasured it....

oh, well....

Liss: @Ajanlekoko,

oh, well....

This is why I felt the post was dumb:

Still needs to be touched for the current generation
