I think they're both very stable. I'd go to whichever hired you.

If UPS hires you come here and if FedEx calls leave. I the guys that have done that DO NOT REGRET IT. They don't have non-union managers that are here to harass you. They have a non punitive corporate culture. Go to DAL, UAL and sleep at night.

After all is said and done I don't really think there is much difference. Do a search here there's been plenty written on the topic. If you get hired by FDX and sent to CDG or HKG against your will, UPS will probably win the QOL vote. Getting an interview and then a job offer from either one is equivalent to winning the powerball these days. You'd be foolish not to have apps in at both.
You cannot be sent to HKG or CDG unless you ask for it. As far as QOL, FedEx does not furough and to me that is a large part of QOL.

Fedex called...I did not leave....I do not regret it.....YMMV

IMHO the people who have major issues with UPS, would have issues no matter what they did in life. Decide for yourself.
