Lets get some DFW Mustang advice...

[dewayne6243]

I'm 26 and currently at a great job at a large company. I bring in before taxes around $150k-$180k a year + 4hours PTO a week and insurance paid. I'm going to get promoted within the next month to an administrative position, which would give an unknown pay raise, and set me up for future promotions. I have a solid reputation and easy going job which lets me work whenever and however I want and I have no fear of ever being laid off. I'm now in the "core" group(500 people out of a company of 7000+).

Short version:
I got a sweet gig that pays well and could end up being a major player running the company in 10-15 years.

I have just been offered by another company to come work contract at $115 an hour with a guarantee to work a minimum of 60 hour weeks + bonus's(estimated at $20-30k every quarter) for the next 2 years+. The work will be hard and brutal, keep your head down and just constantly work. I take the risk of the project going under halfway through, or after the 2 years getting laid off and not being able to find another gig. Basically hanging my ass out taking a risk.

Short Version:
It's a crappy hard working, name calling, finger pointing, blaming job that will pay anywhere from $400k-$500k+ a year for the next 2-3 years with the risk of finding a job afterwards.

So should I stay with the decently paid job and have a solid career, or take a risk and make gobs of money in 2-3 years hoping to find another decent job afterwards.

I work in the engineering side of Oil and Gas.

You really need to ask "The King" before you make a move. He has the "Golden Advice" here on this board. Even though he probably still lives with his parents his advice here is "Golden".

You should hire me to make decissions for you.

If you stroke my cock now and then you might have a job. :wink1:

I have softer hands than Keith does.

Just sayin...

Oh, and stay - without a doubt.

How did u get into that gig?

How did u get into that gig?

A lot of luck, not afraid of doing some ass kissing, and a never say no attitude. My department manager explains that I have a servant work ethic that is a rare quality in this business. I never say no, and will do everything and anything someone needs to make the team successful.

I'm currently managing 6 multi billion dollar projects, training and assisting 15 people on the 3d modeling software aspect, along with some additional training and development of the software packages for the company.

I just got more information about my future position helping develop another software for the company, pulling me away from doing entirely what I'm doing now. It will look great on the resume, but I personally hate the software it's based off of and think it's trash. It might be one of those things I have to suck it up for 2-3 years to get the job I really want at the company. Still no idea on pay raise....

I make good money now, and I understand that. It bugs me though that even my manager will tell me I'm underpaid for the job I do. We got bought out by a very large company about 5 years ago and we are now their main cash cow. They put some strict policies on our company which prevents me from getting the raises I deserve per the industries standards for the work I do. My manager slides retention bonus as much as he can my way, and tries his best to get me 10% raises every year.

I'll be honest, I'm still entertain both offers. I'm currently discussing going direct with the other company. Pending on that offer I'll decide to stay or leave.

I would suggest using the new offer to leverage promotion opportunities in your current company.
