Job Dilema – Company 2 Overview
Type of Company – Smaller company that develops software for 401ks, pensions, and payroll
My Role – I would be part of a growing development team. Top notch all the way around, would be using latest and greatest, very intelligent people, very developer centric. Top of the line equipment, could wear shorts and t-shirts to work, looks it would be a blast to work there.
Job Dilema – Company 1 Overview
Type of Company – Big Health insurance company
My Role – I would be the top person for a department of 15 people – in fact I would be by FAR the most technically savvy person in this department. So I would have a lot of say in how we solve problems, but the technology is a couple years behind on the programming side and 15 years behind on the database side. Those technologies I would not be able to change.

Type of Company – Consulting firm

What I want in a job
As part of my series of what the heck should I do with my career oh my goodness too many decisions multi-part post hosted here on My Financial Journey I figured it would help the one or two readers who try to stumble through this horrible rant of babbling nonsense on which job I should take to know what is truly important to me in a job.
To summarize the most important thing to me when I am looking for a job is what is going to be best for my family. This can have many different implications ranging from:
My Job Search – Tough decisions
Normally I save this for after I right this post, but its 6AM on a Saturday morning, I can’t sleep, and to be honest I have been a reck the last few days trying to figure out what to do with my career so I apologize up front for the babbling non-sense that follows.
My Financial Journey – Best of 2006
Well it seems like this is the thing to do this time of year, so here goes. Here are the “best” posts I made this year.
Reasons why you should not save for Retirement – Probably my favorite article from 2006
Realistic Rate of Return series – I should really finish this up, should be about a 6-part series
Wal-Mart wallet photos for a whole lot less – Great way to get some really inexpensive wallet photos
$100,000 by Age 30 – Probably not the most educating or most well written article, but this has been a great help for me to get my retirement savings on track and I am constantly going back to it to figure out what I need to do next as far as adjusting my retirement savings.
Tracking my Net Worth – A good explanation of what that number in the upper hand corner of my blog really means and why I decided not to keep track of things like debt and Home equity
Frugal Lawncare – Part 1 – Was a fun experiment for me and I actually had pretty good results. Hopefully Harry Jones in the comments had similar results.
