I have a dilemma regarding a potential opportunity. I was laid off from a
company earlier this year that was an established company rolling out a new
business plan to compete among the dot.com start ups at the wrong time.
About 30 people were kept on board after the third set of major lay offs (I
survived until the third one), and they have retooled their business plan
and product offering. I have been asked to come back on board and put
together a Technical Publications department to align with the needs of the
new business plan. This is an ideal opportunity for me and aligns with my
career goals...the problem is, do I return to the company that just
downsized and that still is operating on investment capital? My current
position is stable, but not challenging, and I do not foresee a long-term
future and certainly no opportunities for advancement. I welcome any advice.
Thanks,
Brandi Herring
