http://[flash=200,200]Which would you choose?[/flash][/color]
A company you have been with over five years, large, well established, little or no room for advancement, short commute, lots of vacation days no expected change in job function.

Startup company that has just gone public but has been in business five years, better salary, slightly longer commute, benefits may be slightly better and build your position with definite room to advance.

I personally would probably jump over to the startup, but that's because I tend to like that environment. However, it is risky. Those first few years are make it or break it with going public.

You know, I would agree with Marie.  I would go for the start up.  There is so much opportunity to grow and make a difference.  When it comes to, "will the company make it" .. now a days even if you work a few years in the same company that thrives you never know where you will be in 3 to 5 years.

For me it would honestly depend on where you are in your life.  Are you at an age and situation where you can afford to be out of work for a while if things don't work out with the start-up?  If so, then I would give it a shot.

If not, I might stick to the more stable company.
