Hello,
I moved to UK from Italy two months ago, but as soon as i moved two really interesting prospects popped up.
I'd really appreciate if some of you could tell me what of the two options you would choose
I'd like to develop a business, but of course rent is due in 30 :/ so i'm looking for an interesting and well-paid job to get through my endeavours.
I'm 25, two master's degrees (no regrets about them), no debts/loans/family, and zero money as well :/
A) INSIDE SALES at a chemical company in Cambridge, UK
PROS
Really good team and really good training, i would learn a lot about inside sales
3300 dollars after taxes, 1800 dollars/month after rent/living expenses
CONS
It's a 9-5 job, which is going to leave me without much time to develop my business
B) MANAGER for a villa in Tuscany
My father is a real estate entrepeneur, he owns properties for small hotels, restaurants, and such.
He said that if i want, this summer i could manage one of his villas for tourists.
PROS
I could learn a lot from my father as well, and he would be really keen on doing it
I'd get around 10k after taxes in 5 months (the tourist season - "summer" - here in coastal tuscany is from April/May to September included)
I'd have a lot of time to develop my business
CONS
I would basically live with my family, which is not bad per se, but i'll be less motivated i guess
I would have no idea of what to do on winter
I'd learn a lot about management, but almost nothing about sales
Any (even little) suggestion is appreciated
Thank you for your time!
