Job offer-- dilemma!

[gwEm]

sounds like they are cool guys and happy with your work... as (I think) Jonathan said earlier, try and leave it open for the future when you resign.

and don't feel too guilty - they would give you notice in a moment if they had to themselves.

unfortunately - thats business :(

Good luck mate!

Thanks! Will update when there's movement :)

Oh yea, Andrew W, I've got a mate that's working at DNeg-- from what I gather it's a pretty big place, but Ben works in the tech dept (I think-- he works to keep the rendering systems working)

Good luck with the job: making a decision is the hardest part, actually rolling with the consequences of that is not as difficult, in my experience.

Yeah DNeg's pretty big these days. Was about 60 people when I first worked here 8 years ago, we're now up to about a 1000. I'll make Ben's life miserable for you if you like... ;)

Well, after initially accepting the job (because I didn't have much time to consider, so it would have gone otherwise), I had a think, and it would be best to stay where I am right now-- considering the job market, it would be a little bit daft to give up what I have now. That, and my contact on this flat is for another 5 months, and not 3 as I originally thought!

My main priority is to try and find a decent place to live, and to try and improve the social side of things. I think that the door isn't completely closed at the place that offered me the job, so perhaps in the future something else will come up. I'm sure that either this year or next year I shall be back in London, but it would probably be best not to rush things and do it on a whim!

Thanks for all your words of wisdom, it's good to hear what other people think :)

(job was at the BBC, by the way)
