I'm leaning even more strongly towards the "startup".
lxi: you're right, it isn't really a startup; it's a company that was created a week ago purely with the intention of TUPE'ing over the contracts from the old company... the fact that they also get the people is a big bonus, but at the end of the day, they are also hiring to expand from day 1.
Rossyl: that's something that has always puzzled me, I must admit. What is defined as a "big" company? Would my previous 3 years with the guys who manage schools (~1000 employees around the world be classified small or medium?)
Oldcro: the way I see it, it's "the company I want to work for" vs "the company who's name I want on my cv" (especially if I ever do decide to move back to Italy)
David: exactly! It's nice to have the choice... but I can assure you, I haven't been sleeping very well lately! I even dreamt of the guy who interviewed me for the "option1" chasing me trying to lynch me with a network cable for turning down his offer... (I have very weird dreams....)
Worst case scenario? You'll find me coaching people on how to play starcraft 2 in a few years...
