Rawan’s Answer

Hello! I am wondering if you do really enjoy your current job? Is being employed at a local company the only main problem? If yes then I would advise you to keep the job for now but also keep applying for jobs at multinational companies until it works!

However, if you do not find yourself in your current job and the internship that you got interests you more, in this case you should assess the risks associated with accepting this internship (mainly financially) especially if you didn't get a job offer at the end.

Best of luck!

Hanouff’s Answer

It depends on if the internship is what you want to do or is this the career you want to pursue. I don't think it should only be based on the fact that this is a multinational company vs a local one. If local one is a good job that you enjoy and is passionate about, you should consider staying. You will definitely get more experience and it will be easier for you to find another job going forward. But if that's not the case and the multinational is what you want to do then you can start there and hopefully you will either be hired or it will help you get another job.

Doan’s Answer

I recommend you keep your job since it's less risky. Other posters have provided great recommendations.

On the other hand, if you have strong support and can afford to take risks, the new company is a reputable one, you are confident in your abilities, and you have open communication with the new company on your goals, it may be worth it. Make sure the internship is a paid one.

No!
While the other job may seem enticing, the grass is not always greener!
You will probably have a better experience and more growth at the smaller business than the multinational one. Job security during the pandemic is important so it is not worth it to sacrifice this!

Best of luck!

Christine’s Answer

You have not given enough information about your current position. Is your main
problem that it is not a multinational corporation, or the position 's duties of responsibility of no interest? So you should
assess your current job and it's potential . Six months is not a long time unless you are talking about a full-time job not related to your career goals.
Many companies do hire from their pool of interns. So if you are making the move after re viewing your current position, make sure the opportunity for full-time employment exists.

Quinci’s Answer

Honestly I would just keep the job you have because if you notice multinational jobs aren’t really common I wouldn’t spend time doing a internship unless it offers full time employment after. I would also make sure the internship is legit and not the kind for college credit unpaid. A good internship will offer pay and a opportunity for full time employment after the internship is over.
