Multinational consulting firm
The second offer is from a multinational consulting firm. They have offered you a place for six months trial period, after which you could act as a junior consultant. The salary from the trial period is 2700€ per month, after which it is likely to rise to 3500€ in three years. According to the senior partner of the department, there is no reason to believe that they would not continue the work agreement after the trial period, but it is merely a matter of company’s overall employment policy and your own will. The luxurious office of the company is located in the city-centre, 50 minutes from your home, but they have customers and departments all over Europe, where you are most likely to visit continuously (160 travelling days a year). All company’s employees are young and they are expected to work hard 55 hours per week. The job would be neither highly technical nor too challenging, but it would include variable tasks and a substantial amount of management training. In the interview for the job, the senior partner also mentioned about social activities, such as golf club and courses, and company wide theme programmes which are set up to contribute employees’ overall well-being. However, one of the consultants told know that only few of them were actually involved in those activities.
