Which Position Is Higher – A Business Analyst Or Senior Help Desk Technician?
I accepted an offer as a senior helpdesk technician. I’m currently working as a business analyst and gave my boss my resignation letter (2 weeks notice). I will be starting my new job on the 13th. Some are sad that i’m leaving but everyone asks me the same question; Are they paying you more? is it closer to your house? Then the CFO told me his boss once told him, you should only leave your current job for 3 reasons, either the other company is paying you more, you’re being offered a higher position, or closer to your house.
The thing is i’m not sure if its a higher position? they are paying a lil bit more ( 5 G extra) but it’s an hour away from my house.
Did i make a bad decision?
One of the reasons why i accepted this offer is because i know alot about their software, i have supported their software with another company (one of the company’s partners).

I work in IBM as a business analyst. I am very sure you made the wrong decision to become a help desk tech guy. Especially when there is no significant difference in salary and on the top 1 hour of extra commute to work. Sorry its a very bad decision in my opinion.
