I currently work for UCS and have been there under 2 years. I applied for position that was recommended to me by one of my managers. After the interview I was told that I did well and there wasn’t a lot of people going for that role.

After a couple months of waiting I found out I was just passed up for the promotion that my managers manager was telling I did well on. Even when they mentioned to me that they were looking for 2-3 people for that line. Yet I still got passed on.

So I’m in a situation where I can work for MTA in IT as well but I was told by MTA that I would need to leave the UCS. I wouldn’t be able to have both jobs at the same time. I’m unsure why though. They only told me it’s per corporate compliance that I can’t do both.

As it stands now what MTA is offering is more on the salary side but from what I’m being told they don’t do promotions unless it’s from tech to management or you leave the team to go to a different team.

UCS has promotion potential but it’s looking like you have to be in with the right people to get the promotion.

So I’m wondering if anyone knows the difference in benefits/perks between IT for MTA and IT for UCS.

Right now I’m working two jobs and I would like to go to one and make close to what I’m getting now. UCS would be nice for career advancement but what I need is money and MTA is looking to offer approximately 20-25k more than what I’m making now with UCS. So any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
