I have been working in the iseries market for 10 years. I have read the discussion thread that happened a few weeks ago here and found it very intersting, some insight from you guys would be appreciated. What am I? I am an average and yet enthusiastic programmer, not overly aggressive, not great at office politics. I cant get reimbursed for training on the iseries or new skill sets so have taken classes/conferences on my own. My current position is at a good organizaiton in a support role with some programming in RPG. I have expanded my skill set with some knowledge of sql server and .net. I am very busy with my day to day activities and have not had time to really get in depth in these new areas. I applied for a Sr.RPGposition at a different firm in the area and they did not want to pay more then what I am making, so I didnt take it. Im not terribly happy at my current position due to the politics and certain bosses are self-cenetered and difficult. I do seemingly have job stability/security. A new opportunity has come up with a similar type of organization to my current one that requires someone with sql server and .net plus service skills. They like me even though I do not have a full backgrand in the specific skill set. They claim they have not been able to find anyone they like as much. The offer will be around 5% more than what i make now, similar benefits. What would you do? Do I leave the iseries behind? Do I try to renegotiate with my current employer to expand/change my day to day activities, possible money adjustemnt from them?
