Can you help me decide? I need opinions.

I sent my resignation letter to my manager because I felt like they don't see my potentials and they don't value me.

He talked to me and he said that he'd do everything just he could keep me. He said that he values me and he see potentials on me. He gave me a day to think about it.

Last Friday, I already signed a contract to my new employer and they are just waiting for me on when can I start.

My new employer just offered me less than what I expected but they promised me things that I hope they'll give.

Now, I don't know what to do. I need advise.

Go to plan C. Move to another city and look for work there😂😂

No. Seriously. Before you do another thing, you need to be sure that this will be the right move.

Yes. You've signed a contract, but there may be a clause somewhere that will allow you to get out of it. But, what makes company A so much more attractive? Or is it just that company B pressured you into rushing into something you weren't sure of.

Be very sure before you do anything further.

Personally, I would go. If my employer didn't already see and say something of my potential until I was ready to leave, who knows if it wasn't just something he thought to say until I had one foot out the door?

You need to be firmer and practical in your decision making. When the old one was not willing to leave you and you found your expectations not getting fulfilled, then you shouldn't have left the former and joined the latter.

You've already signed the contract whatever it is. Nothing much left to be decided on the context.

Thoughtful decisions always pays back.
Bests.

@sspec
I've heard what I want from my current employer and I wasn't that happy with what they offered from my new employer.

@NeonDell07 Your reply suggests that the new one are paying more than the older but yet not meeting your expectations.
In that case, chill and climb the professional ladder gradually. Enhance your skills while you continue with the new one and keep looking for better prospects.

Many things to considered.
Is the new place offer higher salary and benefits?
Has the current place offered a raise and better benefit?
How long have you worked at the current one?
Which one do you think would be a better place (or provide one) a career development?

@cloudi
Is the new place offer higher salary and benefits?
-yeah?but lesser than what I expected. They just added an allowance to what I get here.

Has the current place offered a raise and better benefit?
-they told me that they'll raise my salary and they can flexible to what I want.

How long have you worked at the current one?
-I've been working for a year and 4 months.

Which one do you think would be a better place (or provide one) a career development?
-my position didn't change. So it'll be the same. The only difference is my time going in the office. Now, my shift is 6-3, the new employer is 7:30-4:30..it's a rush hour..traffic will kill my time..

Btw. Just re-read the contract, usually you can back out from that. Though, still gonna make you look bad.

@NeonDell07 sorry. I missed this reply of yours. Then I guess not much different from the current and the new one. Go with your guts I would say. Moving to a new work might sound scarry but they can also teach you new lessons.

Why did you sign a contract for less than you expected? I wouldn't put any value in their promises.

NeonDell07 · 31-35

@AcidBurn I know that was a wrong move. I was overwhelmed to their promises I guess? And the HR was talking too fast so it happened. I signed.

sspec

@NeonDell07 Silly! But you will learn for sure with such experiences.
Hang on!
