| May 5, 2011 at 5:14 | comment | added | Chase Florell | Ah, I follow. Yes, my spare time development would continue as is. I don't build for other people, I build my own projects for SaaS income. | |
| May 5, 2011 at 4:51 | comment | added | mbhunter | Right now you have two separate sources of income. That's better than one. Would you still be able to keep two income streams going if you took this new job? | |
| May 5, 2011 at 4:19 | comment | added | Chase Florell | sorry, I don't think I follow. If I take the new job, it will have much room for advancement, and low possibility of layoff. | |
| May 5, 2011 at 3:36 | comment | added | mbhunter | Part of it is opportunity cost. Will your new job leave you hurting for time to pursue other avenues of income? Those are as much of the financial part as figuring out what your take-home pay will be with each scenario. | |
| May 5, 2011 at 3:26 | comment | added | Chase Florell | yeah, as I stated, I need to take all other aspects into account before making a final decision I'd never make a career move based on a SE question. However, looking purely at the financial aspects, I can't figure out the math. | |
