All very good points indeed.

I've been working for this person for over three years with side-business, we have a solid understanding of each other and I understand their brands and projects because of this. I also know that the work is steady enough that the company is still going and growing after those three years.

The scope of work luckily is an ongoing thing, basically the position is technical lead for one of their largest clients and also technical lead on a lot of new business as well.

I'll admit, there is a large degree of impulse in my decision here (turned in resignation today ack!), but also I've been working towards this goal for years now and have built a solid relationship and understanding with them, if nothing else it will be a lot of new and exciting experience and I think the next logical step in my career. I just can't see myself moving any further/faster with my current company.

There is always a contract though (I have one with them right now already for the projects I'm working on).

We'll see how it goes, hopefully it turns out alright and I won't have to go out in search of another job in the near future haha!

Thanks for your input, very well thought out.
