I,m in a dilemma, A company doing the same sort of thing as the one i work for is trying to get me to work for them, the offer sounds very good but as with everything there is an element of risk. they are not established in the area yet so have no track record but seem to have done ok in the area they are based, in these changing times with the credit crunch my industry does not seem to have been affected and there is currently more work than there are people todo it so people with my experience are in demand.
what to do that is the question, stay where its secure( as much as any job is) or change, the prospect of working for a new company and establishing the business appeals to me but the element of risk that goes with it makes me cautious

suggestions welcome :-k

boss:
same dilema, scaff company is going into hoisting, they have no hoist engineers to fix the hoist and want me to go. more pay and better hours but i have seen it before. the scaffs will dog all of there stuff as usuial and before long they will have wrecked the hoists give up with them and start hireing off of my current firm again.

if your safe where you are, stay. if you dont think you are give it a shot.

Oh, Difficult one!!

I was in a similar position a few years back, new company starting in the area, but it was my current director who was shipping out of the family business to start up on his own.

He had a good track record and i'd always enjoyed working with him, he tended to listen to me and gave me free rein to do my thing! He was willing to match my salary, but the overall package wasn't as good, having said that, there was real talk of things to come once the company got established with a much improved package. 

I decided to stay where I was as we had just had our 1st born so it wasn't the best time. He took it on the chin, but did come looking for me when things got difficult for him, ultimately he went bankrupt unfortunately, he blamed his choice of managers for this but I was glad I took the route I did. 

dxmedia:
Yup and go for it, you can dictate better terms, have more of an influence in how things go and have some fun to boot.

Or you can stay where you are and spend years regretting it ;)

see thats the worry , will i regret not going and then see the new company grow into something big? i get the offer in writing tomorrow so have to see how it looks then :-k
