    I love those, because it's an opportunity to contribute in more ways than just being a code monkey, or, as I put it recently to a company courting me, "a mobile brain." Me personally, I would go for it. Twice the salary is great, and like someone else said, it sets the benchmark for what you can ask in the future. On the other hand, you might ask these questions, which I also asked of said company: Where they're getting their funding how stable they think that funding is you might ask to look at their business plan when they plan on being profitable who their competitors are (do some research yourself too!) why their product is better their marketing strategy etc. Also, talk to the other developers and ask them why they joined, how they find working there, what reservations they had and how they were addressed. You may also want to carefully tell your current employer you have a lucrative opportunity and whether they would be willing to increase your salary, as it seems like you are a valuable "mobile brain" by others. :) That's my 2c.

      I'm single, so I don't think job security is not more important than salary .Anyway I got bit confused and i planned to work for 6 months in that company , then approach to any MNC with that pay slip, Is that good decision?

      Let's just hope that nobody from that company hangs out in The Lounge! I work for a small company, and I know we wouldn't be happy to find out that the person we'd just hired was actively planning their next job even before they'd started working for us.

              Nice one! I don't have a problem with any of them, except maybe definitely which I spell incorrect sometimes. Now apostrophe's[^] are a bitch ;p

                  You wouldn't be happy, of course, neither would I, but unfortunately, most companies don't pay top wages.

                        If you can only work there 6 months, then that is better than nothing. I prefer to work at a company at least a year before moving on. Eventually, you will make the money you desire, then choose a company you can stay at like Google, Microsoft, etc... A company that can afford your salary requirements. This is what I did and I am very happy with my game plan and decisions.

                            As far as I am concerned that is not a problem but what I would consider to be the ideal situation! I joined a startup a few years back as the second developer. Since then I have become the main developer(the other dev went on to become the IT manager and looks after infrastructure) and have one other junior developer under my wing. I don't consider going in to work as 'work' but rather as what I want to be doing(except on days where I have wall to wall meetings :( ). In a small team you are going to have a very large influence on what happens with regards to IT, if that is what you want then go for it.

                                    Yes, no, maybe. You will not know until 6 months have passed.
