What job would you take

[big a]

Both of these job are two different trades in construction. With both jobs I feel I would be starting low enough that I would be moving up the pay scale at around the same rate. Just with job A as the company advances there would be more need for office positions where as job B there is not. The work part of both jobs I enjoy it is just that with job A there is a much high chance of having to travel. I guess it is just the chance that A could turn into something big that I am getting hung up on. Either way thanks for all the advice and for confirm everything I was leaning toward.

Hey Big A - if you think that you could parlay the experience in B into an advancement with a different company, then you nullify the benefit in job A that you are getting hung up on.

Afterall, there will be more than one company that is growing as we all come out of this mess.

Plus, you'll have a higher compensation package to negotiate off of - as much as you don't want to, your next employer will ask what you made, and will use that as a first step in deciding what to offer (assuming non-union here).

Either way, wish you the best!
