I was was headhunted a few years ago from a large established company (200 people) to a small start-up (5 people !!) in the same industry. I could see the 'writing on the wall' at the large company- it was heading for decline due to poor management. Now they are down to 40 people and we are up to 29 people! Most of my new staff are 'hand-picked' from the old place. I know who all the good workers are - and also the people to avoid.......

Moving jobs is always a risk- but these days it the only way to move up and onwards and more importantly get a sizable pay rise. You will not be rewarded staying in one job too long- just exploited.

you,ve hit the nail on the head there, the company i work for is a large well established company, they have traded for 200years and have 500 people working for them, but the way things are run is very old fashioned and its like running in glue trying to change things,
i think i have made the right decision [-o<  i,ll keep you posted

Jake:
Good luck mate
