I am facing a difficult choice now. Two companies have offered me a similar position. Company A is a big company with good reputation and a long history. Experience there will look on the resume and I can learn a lot at the job. Company B is a new subsidiary of a middle size company. The size of the company is small, and the future of the company is anyone’s guess. The problem is company B offered almost twice as much the salary as company A. Should I choose security and experience over salary?

My Goal
2 years ago
I am going to define how I consider this goal done. I am going to establish a habit of doing exercises including running and weight training. I am going to exercise at least 5 times week, and continue for at least 2 months before I mark the goal as completed. I will start an exercise routine in 2 weeks (2006/122/18).
CHIMEI 22" Wide-Screen LCD (DVI)
2 years ago
This is the ideal monitor for me now. I have been watching its price falling by about 50% in the last three months. It is now selling for 12,400NT (375US). The regular non-DVI version is 9,900NT (300US). I don’t think the prices are going to go down much anytime soon. Because my other monitor uses the regular D-Sub connector on the video card, I will need to buy the DVI version. I will buy it in two months (2007/1/31)
