Hello Everyone,
First of all thanks for reading my post. I currently work for a small consulting company. We do software integration services in the document management industry. Technology wise this involces customizing Document Mangement Software, Setting up Servers, Storage, Programming and software integration through business analysis. Anyways, the owner of the company is very powerful and micromanages. About 6 weeks ago, I was yelled at in a very disrespectful manner for a situation that was a mistake caused by someone else. He thought it was me. Although it is clear now to him that I wasnt the cause, he has not apologized. He does this on a regular basis to me and other employees. Then he pretends it doesnt happen. The night he yelled at me I went on Monster.Com and sent my resume all over the place. I have now been offered a position doing IT at a larger company. Instead of dealing with clients I would be part of the IT support department working with a team to manage 300+ servers and 4000 desktops. I have never worked I.T. in a department before. Anyways, I need to make a decision as to what to do. The job is for about 5k less than what I make now, but they are giving me 5 weeks vacation vs the 10days I curently get, in addition 401k plan and hands on network and server environment training. So what do you think, should I stay at the small consulting firm and just deal with the owner when ever he decides to be rude and nasty, or should I work for an IT Department for a 4000+ people company? YOur advice would be welcomed.
Thanks
