Just accepted a new job offer
ark_ader:
Hope you don't a have a clause where you cannot write code related to a previous project at the firm you are leaving.
Something towards conflict of interest.
Even if you think it is your idea in written form, you might find that the idea does not belong to you, but your previous company.
I've been caught in these clauses in contracts, especially no compete cases.
RayB:
Those clauses can't be enforced. A company cannot prevent the average person from making a living. Those clauses are meant for big-wigs, and have somehow found their way into everyone's contracts thanks to overzealous lawyers.

Heh, no, theres no clause like that. I don't even have a contract at my current job, it's all very informal. I believe the only things I signed when I first started working there was an NDC and a W2.

I dont really understand the logic here.
u r getting 75% pay raise, with benefits.
I would just ask for offer letter in writing, and then accept it.
if ur current job doesnt want to give u a raise twice before, why do they want to match that offer now?
also, even if they do, that raise is build on a "threat"... because you will leave, but not because they think you're worth it. I dont see how that will be good for the long term.
well, unless there are some perks that you really like about ur current job...
flex hrs, work from home, much less hrs... etc.
with the extra income, I think you can do a lot more.
but 1st thing 1st, ask for the offer in writing...

Huh?
That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm going in this morning to sign the offer. I said I had originally planned on asking my current job for a raise one more time, but this offer was too large that I just accepted it on the spot.
