Big Fish Small Fish and its relation to Career Decisions

I was conducting a class on Career Development the other day and I raised a couple of questions concerning Career Options. The first question was simple, but raised a lot of eyebrows:

"Would you rather be a Big Fish in a Small Pond, or a Small Fish in a Big Pond?"

Let's translate that: For the same salary and benefits, would you rather have a big shot in a small company or a small shot in a big company?

There is of course, no actual answer to that question. However, a person's ability to answer this question will determine his or her ability to build their careers strategically, and not in a haphazard way, like most people do.

I found out that a couple of them had sleepless nights since then, wondering about their own answer to that question. Good for them.

What's your answer?

I have added a new feature to the blog... a Chat Box, FREE, courtesy of Cbox.

Now you can post any message to me directly in this box. It is located somewhere at the right hand side column. It is quite cool.
