Hey guys,
I'm getting back into the JAVA and J2EE world and i'm currently in the later stages of interviewing with 2 companies who offer 2 different types of jobs, but i'm not sure which one i want...perhaps you could help me.
first one is HP Software R&D, i've interviewed for a development position in Enterprise Resource Monitoring. it's a product called "SiteScope" the IT guys among you may have heard of. the job includes developing enterprise scale, dynamic and extensible software, more "back-end JAVA" rather then GUI.
Second one is with AT&T Wireless, developing JAVA applications with Android SDK. I dont have any mobile experience but i think i would like to get into it since its such a hot topic these days and i'm thinking ahead in terms of my career.
both are big companies who pay well and have good benefits, on one hand i'm more inclined to go for the HP job since i like the challenge of developing complex systems with multi-threaded processes (which i don't assume there are in an Android application) and i enjoy it more than i enjoy designing GUI and "the View+Controller layers".
on the other hand i don't know much about developing mobile apps for android and its something i would like to know. its a popular subject today with a broad horizon and gaining that experience could help me a lot in the future.
i'm sure both jobs will be interesting (which is perhaps more important to me than the pay) and as i still dont have a final answer from both companies on whether i got in or not, my problem might even solve itself.
lets say i do get accepted to both jobs, what do you think i should do?
