in IT Jobs / Degrees
I've been offered a job with a pretty large managed services provider. I'll be staring on Jan 2nd. and I'm pretty excited about it. I don't have benefits at my current job and the pay is pretty bad. At the new job I'll be on salary, have benefits and vacation and will get a nice raise. They offer training and certification reimbursement and I will get much more exposure to technologies I want to work with in larger environments. I've been at my current job right at 11 months and it was great for getting back into IT after many years. However, I'll be very happy to have the focus go from small local gov't, residential, and small business to larger businesses. Oh yeah my commute is also going from an hour each way to just about 20 minutes.

    Sounds like a bunch of pro's and no con's (that you know of)
    Congrats!
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    Well, I'm a few weeks in and things are going great. Training was a bit of a mess because the training manager quit right before I started and then there was a bunch of craziness that happened that was much worse coming after the holidays. I'm getting settled in to the daily routine now though. Learning a ton and also refreshing a lot of stuff I've learned or labbed but forgot or never got to use in the real world. There are some things about the company that reminds me of IT companies before the dot com bubble burst. This company obviously wants to attract talent and keep it.
