go with the job that offers a better working environment and/or work life balance.
the technical work itself is what you make of it, even learning by replacing legacy stuff with newer better stuff is always a possibility. choose to use technology that is interesting to you. spend personal time catching up on it if it's impossible to do 'on the clock'. "garbage in, garbage out", basically.
however, the conditions in which you do the work in are not under your control and carry the heaviest personal cost.
- littlethrowaway 10y agoThanks for the reply. This is the thing, the remote environment would be entirely under my control and I think the work-life balance would be fine. The non-remote job would be more challenging work, probably a bit more corporate & rigid, but have a killer team to work with and learn from. I'm with you on the "learning by replacingn legacy stuff with newer stuff" ... that train is already in motion and there's certainly a lot you can learn by doing that properly. Thanks for the thoughts, I'll add them to the melting pot.
