In the traditiion of talking to random strangers on the internet...

I have a job, i enjoy most of the time, but i am finding some things very frustrating.

I have received a job offer.

Both jobs are working with data, in the first i have 18months knowledge of what it means, the other i would be going in cold.

New job pays a bit more, i am reconning on 2.5k per annum, so about 10% more. 5min walk to work versus 35drive or 1 hour cycle 3-4 times a week.(i have allowed for the fuel savings in above increase). I enjoy the cycle in good weather, but the dark mornings the last few days have got me thinking.

I have just been called into one of the directors office here for a chat, i told my manager i had recieved offer. Director said he can't offer a pay rise, he doesn't want to set a precident, but that i was underpaid and that it would be addressed in the pay round in Jan. I know a promise means nothing. But having spoken to other people who know him better he does tend to mean what he says.

In current role we are half way through an installation of CRM dynamics, and talk of Dynamics AX to follow.

New job would mean learning Oracle, rather than T-SQL that i am currently using.

If i stay i know the job, if i move on, i might regret it... but i might not...

Just after some thoughts about the job after next, what skills are more in demand.

Part of me thinks give my current role another 6 months, then if things are no better, job hunt properly. This job offer came off the back of me having a bad day and applying for one job!
