Pls HELP...CONFUSION in Choosing JOB!!

Dear all,

Im in a confusion about choosing a job offer.Right now im working in
..Net 3.0 components(Workflows,WCF),asp.net 2.0 webparts and all.Im having a
good exposure here but with a very less salary which i cant live with.Now i
got an offer from an MNC with 5 times of current salary but to work in
Sharepoint server 2007,Infopath,SQL Reporting services and all those with c#
coding a bit.They said i hav to go to client site to gather requirements, and
we have to design it tool but its like a 2 projects in 1 months kind of work.

So im in big dilemma of what to do..either to stick on here with this such
low salary or to work in MOSS there with 5 times salary.IM afraid if my
future since i dont know the future scope of MOSS compared to .Net 3.0 and
all.So kindly guide me to choose the right thing which makes my future and
life better.

Waiting for your valuable advices

Thanks in advance

I think careed direction is more important that money. Therefore, if
you are really happy with what you are doing now, I am sure there will
be more than enough opportunities in what you are doing now. so, my
advise is just be patient a bit. You will find something with big pay
for the .NET 3.0 WCF and ather fancy new technologies.

Cheers

Create a personal business and ask to be contracted out for the personal
business,
work on that on nights / weekends.

Get the best of both worlds, plus taxable benefits.

Dunno how much "extra" time you have or if they will bite either.

My prediction for MOSS is that its going to be huge and there will be a
significant shortage of skilled developers who understand both the net
framework, and the architecture of MOSS. All the technologies that you are
already looking at will likely get used and increase along the way.

Sharepoint is huge, with way too few developers. There will be 10 WCF
developers for every Sharepoint developer. The market is wide open.

My advice: Take the job.
