I have 3 NYC job offers to consider asap HELP!!

Job 1 (Unrealistic dream?) Working with a non profit. $36-50k. Aligns with my values, but little room for growth. Not my ideal position, but my ideal organization.

Job 2 (Sell out): Consulting. $75k and bonuses. Long hours, but can move out asap, learn about business, young and friendly coworkers. Stressful

Job 3 (Somewhere in between): Sales/academic advising. $50k base and bonuses/commission depending on performance, good company, job security

In this economy, I would go straight to the consulting route. I feel like the stress it may bring is at least a little more justified and you can still learn to make a routine out of it that would make it less taxing. Have you researched about their culture?

I would say whatever one you would have the most growth at.

Job 3

Consulting by a mile.
Pros:
-good money
-good structure and learning opportunities
-top notch job security (large firms don’t lay off analysts)
-can easily find new jobs if you burn out (you’ll be a desirable candidate)
Cons:
-hours sometimes suck

Hmm. This is really tough. What's your career goal right now? Career growth or financial stability?
