<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>So I'm having a tough time deciding on a couple of job offers. I have one from an IT consulting company and one from an automotive manufacturing place. Both good known companies. I'm an IE. The location is for the car company isn't that good, it's in the midwest and i'm from the northeast near a major city, so big culture shock. The consulting job is in a major northeast city so that's a plus. However, I have read awful things about this consulting company such as backstabbing, type A personalities and drama. I'm more of a laid back person so money and materialistic things don't boost my ego like other ppl. I'm mentioning this because the consulting place pays more. The work is also boring from what I've read and I wouldn't have a specific skill set, I've even been told I wouldn't get skills from this consulting job. The car company would give me specific skills (manufacturing--efficiency and IE stuff). I really hate the location but the ppl seem nicer and wouldn't have to deal with drama. The consulting job would let me travel more which is something I've always wanted to do. </p>
<p>I'm torn. Eventually I do want to go into industry and be in a company that makes a difference in society using technology/engineering. But I also want to enjoy my life and see the world. Something the auto company wouldn't give. Any advice would be useful.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
