Hi yall. I have been offered a new job! It's not my dream job, but it's better than where I'm at right now. I'm considering it, and need to make my decision on Monday.
The company is small, based out of Missouri, called ISSI. I'd officially work for them, but really, I'd be working for LinuxNetworx here in Utah. They're in Bluffdale, pretty close to the prison. I'd have an office in the LinuxNetworx building.
I'd be doing a lot of travelling -- the job is doing Linux cluster installations and configurations, on high end clusters (4 to 8000 servers per cluster). They say on average I'd be away three days a week on average, and sometimes (but rarely) would need to work over a weekend. Oh, and all my expenses while travelling are paid for, and my own miles to / from the airport.
The pay is about 20% more than what I make right now. I'm still in the process of comparing benefits. It looks like Novell's benefits are a little better, but I'm still comparing.
Right now I'm thinking I'm going to accept it. Thoughts?
