MAKING A WISE CAREER CHOICE | by Vic Sbrega
Dear Vic,
I currently work for an IBM Business Partner as a consultant doing facilities management work. My work is project/programming and consulting. I am each facility's MIS manager once or twice a week. Recently, one of my clients offered me a MIS manager position at their company. I don't think this is a good career move. Initially it would be for more money, but in looking at the top five paying jobs, consulting is number five -- MIS manager is lower. I have six years at this job, 18 years with System 36 and AS/400s, and a BBA in Computer Science. Where does one go from here?
