another permie thread

i have been consulting for a software company that provide financial forecasting products..

its a really small start up with venture capital backing
they want me to go on board as "Lead tecnologist" to basically take over everything to do with computers and prod dev!!

I will be a team of one initially...

Money is reasonable but meanstaking 2/3 of what i take as a contractor..

however its ground floor stuff with share options...

which could be massive..

the director and chairman have great pedigree and the small team are very impressive i can't see it not being massive...

but then i have a contract to start on monday and its just more money and new technology right now!!!The permo company is phoning me constantly... i have really impressed them somehow and they and the chairman wants me to stay with him and his family in france next week to discuss strategy..

oh dear.....what do i do...

Go and then bang his daughter* while you're there. That way you will truly discover how impressed with you he is.


* or his wife if she is under 18

what is the product that the software firm use? does it have legs?

 

[kramer]

provides modelling for P and L forecasts and then chunks it all up into excel...
for planners to fiddle with (thats a really basic description)
its for accoutnacy firms etc... but has a real load of sweet technology and invention that can be packaged for the big five whihc is where they are heading...

It has a lot of legs i think

Sounds like you've already made up your mind.

oh dear.....what do i do...

Oh dear indeed. One should make ones own mind up and not really discuss such things on a bulletin board where other employees, directors and some investors come for a bit of a laugh.

I'm sure D will be quite impressed...
