I have recently got an opportunity to work with a company that has great environment and great work, some great people. But the package they are offering is average. Should I go for this opportunity as work is really good or should I wait for some good package?

On the other hand your salary structure is something concrete and well documented.

Well let first say I agree with you for large parts, but... I also want to do other things in my life then computers. So I am not doing any programming in my free time. I do sports: ran 5km yesterday, I am listening about a radio program about history at the moment, I am going to watch tennis this afternoon. Also I am joining a course to better my German next month. So many other things in the world.
No more Blub for me, thank you, Vicar.

This weekend, I wrote a little code for the ranch, went to a World Science festival talk on artificial intelligence and went on a day trip where I mountain biked, ziplined, kayaked and enjoyed the outdoors.

Exactly. I can never count on our customers to need or request the technologies I'm currently interesting in trying. In fact, I can nearly always count on them not to track my prevailing interests in a timely way. This means that in the Venn Diagram of Life™, "fun" comprises "fun with code" (as well as non-programming stuff), and while some of "fun with code" overlaps "work", much or most of it does not!Bear Bibeault wrote:
This is a really interesting and important point. ...I always seemed to learn the technology needed for my next job on my own time.
