Default Aw crap - I've been offered a job...

So why Ah crap? Well, I wasn't expecting to be offered it. After I moaned on another forum the other day about our weekends off (1 in 3) being cut at work, a guy I know sent me a Job Spec for a vacancy at his company.

The role is 'Developer Support' for a marketing firm.

Outline role;

What’s my role?
You will be a key member of our technical team, our main tasks are to design, implement and deploy web based solutions. We accomplish this through close interactions with all other company departments, to accomplish our end goal of correctly correlating user and functional requirements into the appropriate end solution.
Went for an interview today, and it's basically testing with a bit of systems (Upgrading machines etc) thrown in. It's £17.5k a year - a BIG step up from the £11.5 I'm on now - but it's in London, so I've got to take travel into account.

On my way home, I got a phone call, offering me the job.

On the Pru website there is a handy calculator for tax/NI - I'd take home £1150-ish a month, but then would have a £311 train season ticket a month to come out of that. They do offer interest free season ticket loans, which would reduce that figure to around £270 a month for an annual ticket, out of my wages.

I really don't know what to do - it's a massive step, to a job that really interests me, but if it all goes wrong...

Any thoughts/advice?

"If it all goes wrong"? It sounds like the travel expense/time is the only negative. Go for it.

Can the company subsidise you for the travel costs?

Take it ffs, so much better than working in a DIY store. Should imagine if it's an half decent job as well you'll be able to relocate to London in some kind of flatshare or something.
