need help on job choice

No he actually interviewed and got the job at another company as he was going through the GP interview. So you must have been one of the other people they were interviewing. Small world huh?

Yeah that's funny.... It is a small world

Broadcasting and media companies have gone through turmoil the past few years. They have companies that buy and control them...they seem to have parent companies all the time. Restructuring occurs. Even if you keep your job, likely internal turmoil due to restructuring at times.

GP is likley more even keel, steady operations, no worry of a huge conglomerate that will shake things up.

GP is publicly traded. I think Turner is not because they are owned by a bigger company. Based on that, I would choose GP. They probably have been around a lot longer. Do they have a pension plan (not a 401k, but a real pension plan)? I bet employees stay longer at GP. I think it is a plus that you might be able to transfer to many other jobs within same company.

Who has more employees? I bet GP. I like lots of employees. More likely lots of internal training when more employees. And more opportunity to advance. I vote GP.

Also TV/Movies...due to the internet and technology, what will TV and Movies look like in 10 or 20 years. Big chance things change a lot. Risky for your career to be in an industry that might shrink. More turmoil is highly likely. GP does not have that issue. Another vote for GP. They are more diversified, less risky. A good place to have a full career for many years if you choose.

GP is no longer publicly traded. It was acquired by Koch Industries.
