Starting 22nd April

I am in 2 minds here. I was laid off a few weeks ago. I had an interview early this week for a new Infosys project working in Microsoft in Leopardstown in South Dublin. The money is excellent working out not including bonus of €45k. I just worry that everything is going so fast. There have been a number of emails sent to fill out forms and there has been little time to prepare. I have told the recruiter that I was a little start of the start date and the amount of forms to be filled out considering the start date. She was no problem, we will get it sorted but start date will remain the same.

I am in 2 minds here. It is an opportunity and as it is a new project well we will see how it goes on Monday. However, another part of me is saying hold out, it is too soon to start out again. There are other interviews but I don't know how they will go or if I will get another opportunity like this. What do people think?

Having MS on your CV is never a bad thing so I would jump at it.

A longer gap of n you CV between jobs is a negative

ps there are a few typos in the post which you might edit

Do up a cost- benefit analysis (Google If you're not sure how to do this)

If you need time off for a career break/mental health reasons then factor this into the analysis

Good luck 🌟

Ignore how fast things are going with it & instead look at the role itself. Is it one you're interested in? Do you think you could learn something from it? Is the compensation fair for the travel (commute as well as other) that you'll be doing. Do you think you can do the role?

If so, why not go for it? Unless you feel you need a break from work & had planned to use some of your redundancy to fund a bit of a gap. Otherwise, I'd go for it.

As for other roles that you might be interviewing for - there's no guarantee you'd get them.

Why?? I am not exactly doing a job application. As long as people understand what the conversation is about, that is all that matters

id agree with the other poster. the way you have worded it, makes it possible to intrepret it a few ways, for example is your bonus 45k, or your total package, including bonus 45k. starkly different propositons.
