want to ask u guys, which would be a better prospect between a system engineer and software engineer. my current office is damn boring. only 2 ppl inside. and now most of the time i deal with client or doing debugging. no more new development. getting boring with programming life.

i had another offer for system engineer. contract based. local company as well, but seems they are bigger company. salary 2k + allowance(400 if shift, 200 if standby, 100 per day if outstation, and OT as well). my current boss said i will get increment if i secure another project (in the mid of dealing with the client already). should i jump and do shift work, or just stay?

Mh.. a friend of mine remind me of this topic, it's been sometime i didnt came to this forum. Thought of posting my careers' info and it's paid for sharing
