Although Role 2 is the lowest paying there seem to be some really hot skills and technologies in there. Plus I think projects roles are fun and sometimes a better experience than your typical break fix type of role. The first role salary is nice but 80K seems like a lot for someone who simply works on Office 365 and Google apps (IMHO). I used to work with Office 365 migrations and Google apps when I worked for an MSP and they were not something I'd want to do every single day. Role 3 seems like something that may be interesting but there's not much information about it.

Given the skills and technologies I'd be working with and putting pay aside because 70-80K is enough for me. I would say Role 2, simply because with the skills and experience you learn there you could go a lot further.

thanks for your opinion


the role 1 is paying the correct amount you have to understand in my last organization and for last two years all i did well mostly was 0365 and google apps so i am a spceliast that knows what i am doing inside out not someone who is learning on the job or someone who is keen to learn etc, they are paying me for my previous experience since i know it inside out they offer me that much

the last two roles are like learn on the job.

Role 3 would be my move. Any chance it could lead to devops work?

Role 2 for me would have too many variables when dealing with clients. It screams jack of all traders, master of none.

Role 1, just avoid, you'll have headaches all day every day when dealing with SME.

You already have vast knowledge and mastered(?) role 1 so I'd scratch that off.

Both role 2 and 3 are project based which is pretty interesting and mentoring could also be a lot of fun, tough decision there. I'd probably go with role 2 mainly because pre-sales interests me.

Are role 2 and 3 both hired employee? I ask because where I'm working consultants are contracted. If 2 is contract I'd go with role 3 for potentially better job security and avoid the contractor headache (insurance, reups, etc.).

My take:
Choose option 1 if you like what you're doing.
Choose option 2 if you want to eventually get into sales or PM
Choose option 3 if you want a well-known company on your resume and angle towards PM

If it was me, I'd probably take option 1.

Questions:
1. What about option 0? stay put.

2. What is the benefit lineup for these? vacation/health/education/etc. is it all the same?

3. What is the work schedule for each of these?

4. What is the commute for each of these?
