<p>BCEagle, Toblin, Ken285, </p>
<p>I can appreciate what you are saying…I would like to add some details and then see if it changes your advice any. </p>
<p>The difference between these two companies is very large…the one I accepted pays low, is completely unrelated to what I want to do (machine design), and is not really an engineering position; I’ll be the ‘cad monkey’ for them in the drafting dept. </p>
<p>This new opportunity is a small consulting firm that does exactly what I want to do (thermal fluid sciences), energy efficiency for alternative and traditional energy production processes…the position will entail real engineering duties</p>
<p>Taking these details into account, does your advice change at all?</p>
<p>Note: if you are or have been a hiring manager or something please note this…it is important for me to get the perspective from the other side the situation in terms of actions/response/judgement</p>
