What will get you the most money in the long run is a good portfolio showing high profile clients.
Working for a software company doesn't give you the best 'image' when you're looking for design agency work later on.

Yeah, I am. It's tough when you have non designer friends telling you to go with the money though.
But in all honesty, I want to get into a design studio down the road. I'm not really a big fan of working as an in-house designer for corporations. If I take this job, it will probably kill my portfolio. even, though the money would be nice.

if you jump on the money already then you might seriously regret this later on.
do whatever you feel is better for the long run.. really.

You're probably able to learn something at whichever company you work at. I'd say go where the money is.

if you are still a n00b then build up the sort of experience you'd love to be hired for later in your life..
if you want to be known for the stuff you do now stick with that.
goodluck, son.

Well I have a 3 month review coming up a my current company soon I may push for a meeting a bit early. They did say they would renegoitate salary when I was hired. hmmm.
I figured most of you guys would suggest I stay. probably the best choice for now.
