Career choice

by jkameleon . Updated 20 years, 8 months ago

Another day, another downsizing in my old IT department…

As usual, I kept a lookout for other options, and came accross a self employment opportunity, an application development for start-up company, where I could make about 50% more money for the 1st 18 months, with good prospects for later if development goes well.

And, as usual, I survived the downsizing. If I decide to stay with my current employer, I would be in charge of outsourcing. I was promiesed some training for that.

It’s not an easy choice for me.

Self employment would be a more risky & stressful, but I would make more money.

On the other hand, I don’t see much future in the application development anymore. I guess I could use some training & experience in outsourcing.

I would higly appreciate any thoughts or advices.
