New Money to live on is good.
The economy won't last forever... you can always move back when you're on solid ground.

Especially if there are opportunities at this job to learn new skills. That's invaluable.

it's existing knowledge - but the practice hase been invaluable. Neurons that haven't fired in a long time have been restarted - and THAT has been good.
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Matter of perception
How long is permanent? Other than my time in the Army, my permanent positions have lasted from 2-4 years, and my contract gigs have lasted from 6 months - 4 years.

I now look at all positions as temporary and plan accordingly. If the position requires that I become an employee, then I have one "rate". If I'm paying my own benefits, then I have another "rate".

My only suggestion is, don't burn any bridges with the software vendor. If possible, new employer accepts, offer to still provide support with the software vendor on the side. Use vacation "hours" if necessary. That way, if the "permanent" position doesn't work out, you have a fallback position.

Good luck.
