Got offered a job today. Art Director for a .org. 10K salary increase, with full medical and matched 401K and a company credit card expense account.

The .org goal is to partner technology companies with companies in Africa thru setting up and managing Makers spaces. Makers spaces are like technology clubs where members have access to manufacturing tools and equipment including CNC mills/lathes, 3D prototype printers, and CADD/CAM software and equipment. They offer classes on and require certifications to operate the equipment. Even though there is a monthly membership to use the space, it only $50. The space is funded by donations from equipment and software manufacturers and local businesses.

I'm a little concerned the .org is just starting up and I just don't know if it will come together or last very long. I have worked for the company I am at now 32 years and would hate to find myself unemployed after a few months even though there is supposed to be a contract with a severance package. And lastly it would require moving to Austin TX. Oh and they said they would help with Mom by providing a live-in caregiver.
