Hi.
so I'm currently working on the grad scheme for a logistics company (nothing fancy) and a month ago I was offered a job with HMRC in their London office which I provisionally accepted.The code is: CSR/1667/16
I really don't know what to do as HMRC would look great on my CV and is more relevant to my Economics degree but I feel like the logistics company will provide more opportunities as they haven't hired any other grads in my department.
I'm not really looking at pay (HMRC offer less) but more so how I develop into a professional as there is a long way for me to go. I'm still the silent one in meetings and really unconfident. I still doubt myself a lot and clearly have poor decision making skills.
The HMRC role isn't part of the grad scheme but it still provides training and covers exam fees. However they have specified that career progression isn't definite whereas with the logistics company they have earmarked us as 'future leaders.' I know HMRC will prioritise grads rather than standard employees which is fair but once again the better reputation/name of HMRC is something that is causing me to swing left and right.
The tax office is something that is always going to be there so I'm trying to persuade myself that in a few years if I don't like my current job, then I can switch. Since I'm only 21, there should be an opportunity for me to switch careers before 30 but I feel in this current climate that may not be the case.
I've only got a few days to decide whether to stick to my current job or switch to the other one.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you.
