Dear Career Doctor,

I was in a sales role with quite a few different companies and even different industry for around 10 years. Although I never enjoyed my role as a sales, I managed to end up as a senior sales.

Not long ago, I got an opportunity to change field as I got a job offer in operations as a trainee with a very reputable local corporation. The offer is rewarding in terms of job satisfaction and career advancement, and I believe I am more suitable in this field. More importantly, after 2 years of training I will be assigned to a senior supervisor role.

The dilemma comes in when a job agent approached me recently with another opportunity as a senior sales role in one of the top 5 companies in Fortune Global 500. The package is very attractive that I think it will take at least 3-4 years for my role in operations to catch up. And I think it is once in a life time that I could work for a company this big. However, leadership skill and career path should be something I can't acquire and see in this sales role.

Hope you could shed some light on the situation.

Kind Regards,
Dream Chaser
