Hi

I'm a 21 year old process/chemical engineering student in New Zealand. I'm just about to finish my undergraduate/bachelors and am in a bit of a dilemma. I have been awarded PhD funding (from a prestigious organisation) for energy research. I have also been offered job offers as a graduate process engineer.

I have worked with my potential supervisor this year on my honors research project already and have a good relationship with him. He's part of a larger team, which have resources and industry connections. They've made a reasonably competitive offer (to compete with my job offers). They're really keen to get me on board.

My topic aligns a bit with my honors research project, my supervisor's interests and the team's research contracts/obligations.

Would appreciate any advice
