Hi Astral T,
Its something worth thinking about, your new boss. You have been in a job for sometime and a newbie comes along. Can you tolerate that? Someone new laying the rules to you.
Or is it better that you take the job and become the boss over what you are familiar with.
I have been in those situations. It takes a very good boss to be in charge of people more qualified than the boss and maintain good relations and motivate and maintain good morale.
Cheers Marty
