I’ve received two job offers—one is a permanent Office Administrator role with a company that has increased the pay each time, even after I declined it twice. The other is a 6-month Payroll Project role with a large company. I’m feeling unsure about which one to choose.

I would go with the permanent position in the economy. It sounds like more of a sure thing and it also sounds like I really want to hire you.

Thank you for your response. One factor that’s making me think twice about the permanent Office Administrator role is the 45-minute one-way commute. While the offer is appealing, the travel time is a concern.

like

Permanent for sure. Forty-five minutes is nothing.

I commute 1.5 hours each way. 45 minutes would be nothing for me. Go for the permanent role.

I would go with the permanent role too, but i have to admit, I'd be a little wary of a company that fought so hard to have me after saying no twice. Does that kind of desperation worry you at all? Still, I'd choose the permanent one.

like

I worked in the same industry before.

Permanent. If the commute is too rough for you, it's at least steady beyond 6 months while you continue the search for something else.

like

Yes , that’s true

What are you considering? depends on what you're hoping to get. I would analyze the pros and cons of each and see which one makes more sense. I personally like Permanent Office Administrator role

like

I am not sure they offer full time role. But i feel to try out the payroll path.

You're feeling unsure which one to take? I have primarily been about to only find seasonal / contract / temporary work since the Great Recession and none of those jobs turned into something permanent nor did the agency have anything for me after the contract ended. The no brain decision would be the permanent role especially if they offered an increase in pay TWICE.

I commute 2 1/2 each way. 45 is the blink of an eye. Go for it.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
