            <description>Hi all,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is the wrong place to post, please advise the correct thread/place to post it, thanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed since Sunday, Umobile internet is extremely slow and unstable. Those using only for social messenger may not notice, but since I play games as well the effect is very obvious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My game will frequently disconnect, or sometimes it won&amp;#39;t even load/connect into the server (playing online btw). At first I thought it is the issue near my office, but apparently even in town I face the same problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone else having the same problem? I hope it&amp;#39;s not just my phone finding fault with me &lt;!--emo&amp;:(--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; I tried contacting their support, but it&amp;#39;s useless as usual, no news since Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anyone can offer suggestion/help it&amp;#39;d be great. Thanks.</description>

            <title>Want to ask advice/opinion on job offer</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3064264</link>
            <description>Hi all,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m currently working as a contract research officer in a university. My contract ends this year and am offered two contracts in the same university but different centers. Problem is each offer has its own + and -, and am having problem deciding on them. Hope you guys can offer some advise/opinion on the matter. To simplify them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offer A (An extension of my current contract)&lt;br /&gt;+ Same pay (about 2.3k)&lt;br /&gt;+ 50/50 chance for bonus this year&lt;br /&gt;+ A more relaxing workplace&lt;br /&gt;- Low to moderate opportunities for self-development and building up CV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offer B (A new appointment/contract)&lt;br /&gt;+ Very high opportunities for self-development and building up CV&lt;br /&gt;- 50/50 chance for lower pay (about 200 less)&lt;br /&gt;- No bonus (since it&amp;#39;s new appointment)&lt;br /&gt;- Very stressful workplace (Working hours at least 8.10 - 18.30)&lt;br /&gt;- First month (January) I only get half month salary as appointment only starts 15th&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current commitments: Car loan + allowance to family, bills, food, etc (usually I have almost nothing left to spare)&lt;br /&gt;Additions from next year onwards: Health card (family), saving for low-cost flat, saving for Masters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the list above it&amp;#39;s quite obvious Offer A is better, but I may need Offer B&amp;#39;s self-development opportunities (as well as opening doors to other postgraduate offers) to take up Masters asap, especially if I am to convince universities to offer any kind of scholarship program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problem is if I take up B, the sudden decrease of income may hit me hard, so am very lost at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would really appreciate any input/suggestion/advice on the matter. If I should be posting this in another section instead please do point it out and I will do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: Sorry for the wall of text. Thought I may need to elaborate more to get proper input. &lt;!--emo&amp;:respect:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='notworthy.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;</description>
