Hello,
I am getting a ton of perm opportunities and these are some of the interesting ones:
1) Less than 10yrs old tech company offering £60k + 3k per annum per employee on training. I get to learn Python and one other hot tech as part of my new job. Commute will probably cost me £2.5k a year.
2) One of the "Big four" companies, also offering £65k. Role is based on what I already know, in house development, and it is close to my home.
3) Wait out until January / Feb / March for more perm opportunities and continue to do contracting for now.
From what I know about 1 and 2 above:
1) The work here will not be too mind consuming as I already know the topic well so I can use this opportunity to learn new hot tech such as Python, good chance I will be an even more senior within a year, and maybe even a director by 2/3 years. The company is due to double in size within the next two years. I have some doubts about their growth but it seems interesting. Maybe I could try this for a year, learn the things hard and grow my skill-set and leave?
2) This one feels like a comfort option, with up-coming uncertainty in the UK maybe it is a good time to settle here? It's close to home so my travel costs may not be high, good reputation, name looks good on CV, but maybe I will not learn much because this is a giant company and I may be just a cog in a machine. Should I interview this company and find out more? I have worked with these type of big four's in the past on projects so know roughly what to expect.
I am quite interested in widening and growing my skill-sets, building a good reputation.
