It sounds like a big change, but increased pay and benefits are pretty nice things.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Is the contract job potentially more stable?
Hard to say. It sounds like they have plenty of work, and I'd be the only person.
The person I spoke to with the full-time job yesterday did warn me that the culture is "debative", and it's hard to know if that means healthy debate or just people being assholes.

Oh no, that does sound like assholes. Or at least just really aggressive.
Called and left a message with the in-house recruiter for the full-time job. So I guess we'll see.

It is shocking how often that kind of question shows up in advice columns, but that is far above and beyond! (Except for the grandmother who kept giving the allergic kid peanut candy...)
Holy shitballs, those people are crazy. MUSHROOM POWDER!

"The cause of this rift is TRULY TERRIBLE HUMAN BEINGS." The answer was spot on. I am so grateful that my family on both my side and his are so supportive of my not deadly but annoying allergies. They are so careful. We all go out of our way for the vegetarian and vegan members too. Sheesh people! Why is it so hard to be considerate?
So I guess we'll see.
Debative can mean a lot of things. I hope it means more on the open to ideas end of the spectrum than like to argue side.
Good luck Dana, that is a lot to consider.

I don't know if I can do any Silicon Valley recon for you, but let me know if I can help. I could see if I can find any colleagues who work(ed) there.

Holy crap those batshit, straight-up murderous relatives, but also, someone else out there who has a weird mushroom allergy! Since it's not a common allergy, most menus don't bother to mention the presence of 'shrooms, and it can be maddening when you're trying to avoid them and squinting at ingredients lists.
My Aer Lingus Dubin to San Francisco flight had mushrooms in both meal options, so I had to ask for a spare vegetarian meal that luckily wasn't using mushrooms as a meat replacement.
