I&#39;ve been around here for quite some time now and have been searching for a similar topic that fits into my situation, but sadly I have never found one. So I would like to ask you guys&#39; opinion regarding my situation.<br /><br />I am 25 years old this year and I am torn between sticking into my current job or working with my dad&#39;s company. I am currently working a job that is completely unrelated to my dad&#39;s company. The job is great and the benefits are good, however, the career development is very specific in its industry and would not fit into my dad&#39;s company. <br /><br />My dad&#39;s company is a sub-con company having projects with the top companies in Malaysia however times are tough now.<br />My concern is I am afraid that I will never have the competency like my dad has and will never have the connection he does.<br /><br />Eventually, I will be managing my dad&#39;s company and I wouldn&#39;t want my dad&#39;s effort to set up the company to go to waste. So my questions are;<br /><br />a) Should I be changing my career immediately? If so, should I be focusing on the management or technical side?<br /><br />b) Should I be working in a larger company that does the same thing as my dad&#39;s? (for more experience) Or just work with my dad? (Less experience since my dad&#39;s company is small)<br /><br />c) What are the things that I really should know/have in running a sub-con company?<br /><br />Other opinions/views are highly appreciated. I wanted to ask this question for years now. Thank you in advance.<br /><br /><br /><br /> lburner Jobs &amp; Careers Mon, 21 Feb 2022 20:29:53 +0800
