Girlfriend has an interview Thursday at a place she thinks is really cool, kind of a start up, seems non-profit or something. But earlier today she got called by a recruiter, and that job is for a software company and would pay extremely well (they even said more than what she asked for!), plus better benefits. First one seems like less stress, second one sounds like a lot of money at hand with some stress (though FWIW, the glassdoor reviews speak highly favorably of the company). They said they would tell her tomorrow if they want to move forward. I want her to make the money, but I dont want her coming home miserable all day...

If the first one will pay enough, for whatever value is enough for y'all, then that seems like the right move.

Yeah, that's why Nick Fury is showing up in it rather than Tony Stark (because Tony is loving dead).

Sounds like the first one will pay the bills comfortably, and allow for some spending for fun activities. Second one would allow her to save for a house. So... it's tough.

Interview at both places, get a feel for the teams and work, and make a choice off of that. You're making assumptions about both places -- what does "seems non-profit" mean? How do you know there will be more stress at the other job? Don't assume, just go in and ask questions, get offers and go from there. She can always tell the first place that you want to be there, but has another offer from place 2, can they come up with a better offer?

The first company is funded by some angel investor, and is a watchdog company of some sort, so I'm not exactly sure what you classify it as. The second job I'm basing a bit off of glassdoor reviews, where a lot of people say its fast paced and work life balance can sometimes suffer (but to be fair, those are mostly for people in sales, and she would be HR). I'm sure she could counter offer anything from the first company but they wont be able to offer anything close based on the difference.

Gotcha. If they're not a 501 (c), they're going to be for-profit at some point. But good luck to her/y'all, having potentially multiple offers to consider is a good, albeit stressful, place to be.

A buddy of mine taught in Japan via JET for a bit, came back to the US to get an MBA, and is now starting his first adult job search. His college advisor told him that the new standard with regards to references is to have 6 and also list them directly on the resume.

Am I crazy in thinking that seems ill advised? I have never heard of anyone suggesting putting the references on the resume, and I can't imagine that a bunch of names and phone numbers would trigger the word search algorithms in a positive manner when he applies. Also lol at expecting a dude to have 6 references when he has been out of the country or in school for his entire adult life.

I don't know if it's specific to that industry, but in general this is laughably wrong. Have three references, don't put them on your resume, a hiring manager will ask you if they want them.

How old is his advisor? Not to dump on said advisor too hard but it sounds like the kind of job-hunting advice you'd get from someone who hasn't had to job hunt in 10+ years.

It's this. They'll ask for references when they want/need them.

I had a resume for a senior position where they were still listing college accolades like gpa/honors/etc, instead of just college, degree, date.
