Hi Everyone
I have been contracting for a while now and have decided to go perm (family coming up, need stable employment etc).
My background is in messaging and collaboration (MS Exchange server, OCS, Blackberry Server/ActiveSync etc). I've been in this field fo the last 5 years or so, before that a general infrastructure person.
I've been offered two perm jobs, but can't decide the two and am weighing up the pro's and con's. Would be grateful for advice from others on this forum :-)
Job 1: Mobile Messaging Engineer/ Architect: Responsbible for the engineering/ architecture of mobile messaging solutions for the company's users (approx 30,000 mobile users). Technologies are Blackberry, ActiveSync, Good Technologies etc.
This is not a support role, but a design one.
Job 2: Messaging Analyst: Responsible for the maintenance and support of company's messaging platform. No design work, just support, incl on-call. Technologies are Exchange 2007/2010, Blackberry, OCS, MindAlign.
Job 1 is paying more since it's an engineering/architect role, but is more focused on the Blackberry server and mobile side of things. Job 2 is more Exchange focused. Both are for very good companies, although Job 2's company is probably better/more high profile.
What are people's opinions?
