I'm in the lucky position of having a couple of graduate job offers to take up once I finish uni this summer. The problem with this is that I just can't make up my mind on which one to take up.
After living in London for the past 4 years I am keen to be able to live somewhere with easy access to good biking, but I can't decide how important I should make this over the job.
The two offers I have are either a general engineering company, based in Bristol, or an engineering company doing something I'm slightly more interested in and specialised in Brighton. Pay is pretty similar (actually slightly better in Bristol), hours are better in Bristol (finish earlier, finish at lunchtime on Fridays) and I have more friends in the Bristol area. I know Bristol quite well and love it as a city (for biking and general life), but the Brighton company has possibly a slightly more interesting job. I've also worked for the Bristol company last summer so have a vague idea of what working for them is like. However, I think it will be difficult to judge what it's like to work at either until I've done a few months there, and this is what's making the decision difficult.
Anyone had to make a decision like this before? Any advice?
Nothing like asking some complete strangers for career advice on the internet eh?
Anyone have any experience of the mountain biking from Brighton? I realise there is some but the distance to Wales/the Peaks for weekend trips is big.
and travel to Bristol for work
