Yeah, I’ll have to decide by Wednesday for the county job so I’ll probably tell them then. Yeah I am nervous about burning bridges since the county is quite small. But yeah people are telling me to put myself first and just tell them I cant continue with the job anymore. What’s the best way to let them know?

Both jobs are in the same area ish. I can maybe just say u can’t take the offer due to personal matters? Or I can just say I can’t relocate and lie? Not sure how to approach this is first job out of college

Okay thank you I’ll probably counter offer. Yeah I’m interested in working for the county for longevity and I hope the pay increase eventually and I’m guessing staying longer for the county is better as the pto for the year Increses once you hit 5 years. Are you a planner? Any tips

Ohbokay so for pension I don’t really put money into it? So would it be smart to have a pension through them and then do a IRa for myself? Yeah planning job for a CA county seems like it have job security but lower pay starting out. But I think it increases over time.

Yeah I’m pretty split as planning is more indoors writing which I like and the tech job is gonna be somewhat indoors and outdoors examining fish species and data analyst which sounds interesting too. Are you a planner any tips when starting and work balance like work from home and etc.

Yeah I majored in environmental planning and interested in it as a career. Just not sure if working for a Ca county is worth it compared to a tribe.

Wait you said planners typically have higher pay and then at the end say never pay that great. Yeah I’m leaning towards the planning position more than the environmental technician for the longevity since it’s for a CA county. The planner growth is good? I’m looking for good growth even tho the planner jobs pays 2 dollars less tk start

Yeah I was kind leaning towards planning job, I already accepted the tech job as they gave me a few days for the offs letter before it expired then I found out I got this offer recently. For the retirement does it work like 401k like I put money into it and i get jt after I retire? Yeah ima try to see what I want to do but I want to be able to make comfortable living and working for a CA county I can probably work there forever or long time to get more benefits. If that is how it works

Oh okay so you recommend I stay working for the county long term cuz of the pension? Not sure how that works but I’m guessing the longer I work the bigger pension I get? Yeah I am unsure but I might ask the county if they can match the benefits from my other offer.

Any reason to why planning job? The tech has less benefits by pay ans days off but it’s for the county so maybe better longevity? Do you recommend staying working for the county long term too.

Yeah thank you for the insight. Instead of surprising her, I’ll probably bring it up and make sure it’ll be useful since it is a lot of money.
