I have received my N+ in February and finished A+ in December. For over three months now, I have been working at a manufacturing facility as a contractor helping with the IT work, my first full-time IT job. I was initially offered a two month contract and was told they'd make a decision on whether or not to keep me permanently after that. Two months ended and they told me we'll make a decision after another two month contract. There is currently only one person in IT for a plant of over 200 people, so I think they need someone.
I had a job interview today for a very similar position. My current job is over 45 minutes away. This place would be less than 20 miles which would be a plus. The pay would be the same initially, but my recruiter said the last person received a slight raise after the first month and was offered a permanent position after three.
Should I take the new job if it is offered to me? The interview went very well. I like my current job very much, but I do not want to have to be looking for a job in a month even though I do think that they would want to keep me. And I do hate the long commute. I figure that if my current job hires me perm, that I'd make more money since the recruiters are not taking out a huge cut anymore. Is this right? I would like some advice and opinions on what I should do and if there are other things I should consider.
I test for the CCENT in a couple weeks after only a month of studying. I think that I could have the CCNA by the end of summer possibly. Basically, I would want a higher paying job after that, so I don't really expect to be a current position forever anyway.
