I've been offered another job. I'm in IT, and it would be using more up to date software with the possibility of project management. My current job is OK but up to now hasn't had many prospects. It might improve if we get another client, but that's not certain - although it is a possibility. I'd like a more senior position but there's no chance of that for at least 2 more years. It is a safe job though! The offer letter for the new one stresses the 6 month probation, saying your employment is only confirmed when you'd had a satisfactory review at the end - otherwise you could get dismissed. I guess this is standard? I've not seen it put that way before. I'd be afraid of putting a foot wrong for the 1st 6 months! dh says it would put him off a bit - and the 3 month notice period. I still quite fancy the job but not sure it's a bit risky, given our outgoings...
