Choosing between two job opportunities
I have two job offers and would like some advice about it from some fellow nerds.:)
1. Big fortune 100 company with really cool people from Apple and Microsoft who jumped ship and now work here. Not your typical big company environment has a startup vibe with full fridges, open office, pool tables, standing desks etc. Is a 6-month contract only with potential hire afterwards. Mainly working with HTML/CSS and jquery. None to little design work.
2. Small 30ish person company SAAS service company and would be totally 100% remote. Would have potential to use some new javascript frameworks like Angularjs and test-driven development with also about %30 percent of the work being design. Pays a bit lower then job 1 but is permanent.
My problem deciding is job 1 I feel would be a good learning experience, working with other people better then me and having a big name on the resume. Job 2 i'm going to be able to actually make some more decisions and not have as many people to lean on.
Before this i've mostly been a solo dev slogging through whatever needed to be done back-end, front-end, design etc. If you were personally in this position what would be your thought process to deciding?
