IMHO while money is important it's not the be-all and end-all...... go for job satisfaction every time :thumbup:
shuffles back into his cardboard box
pesronally i would do the job you enjoy for less money.
if there was ever a way of supplementing your bupa work with maybe much reduced shifts at asda..would that be possible?
apart from that.. are there more chances of career or maybe working your way up a bit at bupa? i personally would take that one. maybe you can overhall your finances to compensate.
it's a strange day at SH towers cos im gonna have to agree with Johneboy
several years ago i quit a £30k a year job to do what i wanted, its been a bit of a rollercoaster ride but great fun & if it all turns to shite in the new job, asda is not really a company you would have difficultly getting a job with again.
go for the new job if it feels right and if you're any good with it the money will come in time.
Go for the money!
Its the only reason you work!
Check your finances and if you can afford the lower paying job without it having to much of an impact on your income then go for it, otherwise stay as you are :idea:
Sounds like you enjoy working at Asda, the hours suit your life and the money is good, why change that for something your unsure of and have always done??
The other question is stress and emotion, surely working within BUPA will have far more of that than you can possibly ever have at Asda, do you need it??
At the end of the day the only one who can make your mind up about this job is you NN.
You have to weigh it up, but I would personally go for job satisfaction every time.
someone on here said that you can get a job at a place like ASDA again and again, which is very true. So why not give BUPA a go, and if you find you can manage on the money, and importantly you can manage the stress, and even more importantly, find the job totally rewarding (which I think is what you really want isn't it)
IF, and a BIG IF, you decide you cant handle the BUPA because any of the reasons above, then you can quit and go back to ASDA.
Hope that is of some help
PS I quit my job as marketing manager of a large computer retailer cos i couldn't take the stress anymore, much happier now even though I don't earn as much as I did !! So I for one would say that happiness is more important that the £££'s
phew, take a breath :shock:

My advice... for what its worth.... would be to write out a list of all the pros and cons for each job.... then compare the two... the answer should be clear....
But if that doesn't help... go for the Bupa one... yes its less money... not sure of yr financial situation so only you can know if its the right reason to choose a job.... you will feel intellectually stretched... whereas... no offence... you can always go back to Asda at any time....
Think carefully about your choice... but whatever you do... you'll enjoy it...

hi naughtynymphos1, what a dilema :!: :!: . I would say go with your heart and money isn't everything. But then sometimes money is, if you have family to support and need that extra few pounds, we sometimes have to do the jobs that make us the most money to support that life style even if we don't like the job.
I know thats not much help, but just go for it, i'm sure if you don't like it ASDA will take you back. :confused:
If you decide to take the job with BUPA have a chat with your manager at ASDA. Explain that you are happy at ASDA and ask about the posibility of returning if it doesn't work out with BUPA. That way you haven't burned any bridges.

bupa!what you more proud of telling people you work?forget about the money!im a gas man now,had really good job loadsa i couldnt of done it for life so took a wage cut and got a proffesion!i lost 2 thirds of my wage for two year!it pays now tho!
Christmas is coming and only three more pay days..............
Play it safe tell BUPA you need to give eight weeks or twelve weeks notice keep the ASDA job to reep the benefits of Walmarts staff discount and additional hours leading up to the festive period, then start New Year with the New Job, BUPA will more than likely wait for you as they have done all the CRB reports ......
Good luck in the dilema

Congratulations Nymphs Good luck in your new career with the British United Providence Association.
See Im not just a pretty face I know stuff !!!
: now my problem is altho i do like it at asda, everyone really nice and for the hours i do the moneys quite good etc i can't help but feel i could be doing something better at times, i suppose my real problem is altho i know i would rather be working at the bupa home, its the kind of job i have always done and loved doing in the past, the moneys not as good as at asda, so do i go for the job i would enjoy the most or the one that pays more money?
