I know what I would do, but that should not influate your decision. We all
have different goals, and if you have a family to support, you should talk
with them first before you make your choice. With a wife and kids there's
big difference from working 9-5 to 1-midnight.
You'll get used to the business dress very quickly, so don't let that scare
you too much.
A title is "just" a title, but maybe they would offer you a better one at
your current job if you deside to go with the new one.
I have no idea what pre-ipo means, so I can't guide you in that matter.
Hth,
Ole

Subject: Which Job Should I Take?
I was wondering if you all could share your opinions with me. I have a =
choice of two jobs to take listed below. Both are an increase in pay of =
about 9k.
1. My current Job: They are going to title me "network engineer" working =
4 10 hour days 1 pm to midnight ( I love the hours) , but we work with =
cabletron, checkpoint and cisco. We have a campus and WAN support =
responsibility. Sometimes it's a bit slow when nothing is happening and =
I may get some "Win NT" duties, yuck.... I would have sunday, monday and =
tuesdays off and could possibly get some good side gigs. Last but not =
least, it's business casual.
2. New Job Offer: I will be titled a "network administrator" working 8 =
to 5 monday through friday ( I hate waking up early ), but getting =
exposure to ATM, Voice over IP and voice over ATM. Lots of MC 3810s =
about 50 or so with conections all over the US. One thing is for sure is =
there are NT admins to handle the "Win NT" issues, I really want to =
graduate from the NT support world for good. This company is also =
pre-ipo and although they are a huge company, this is a new "division" =
and pre-ipo makes me nervous because I have a family to support. One =
cool thing is that they are a cisco gold partner. One bad thing is that =
they are business dress, yes the whole tie thing. The pre-ipo thing =
makes me nervous because they say "yea when we go public, lots of the =
big wigs will be rich"... Does this mean new management takeovers =
etc...??
Anyway, thanks for any input.......
