    Ok so... I didn't go for the junior role in the end. The grade I was at meant that the recruiters felt I should go for the full solutions architect position... Which I got :D

    My minor dilemma now is because I can earn so much overtime and on call as a server engineer, I will be down 4 to 10k depending on how hard I went at it. Plus side I'll never do overtime again in the new role and it should open up a lot of doors for me. I think I'm going to accept the new role. Scared of course, very much in my comport zone with VMware and server matters. I will have enough money to get by and yes I did ask if that was their max offer. It is.

    Just thought I'd share my experience with you. I think I feel an odd mix of excitement, terror and confusion at the moment ha ha I do like a challenge.
