hand job to blow job?

keep hand job if you are familiar with it ;)

 

Don't switch.

Unless you've been working at the previous company for +4 years AND put some money aside. Doesn't seem to be the case.

Don't switch.

 

Use the time in the big company to create great music in your spare time and publish it for free on youtube, soundcloud and other socialmedia... and speek about this in your linkedin profile. Use the time to learn about musician branding and put it in practice.
Build your brand. In this way you will atract other companies, more intresting companies, more intresting jobs, more money ...

stick or twist... old proverb say stick, it doesn't seem like the new job offer is your dream once in a lifetime no brainer offer, you were born to do type opportunity or you wouldn't be asking

 

It doesn't sound as a bull-crap to me at all. I am an audio director and composer in one small casual game company, and I would love to hear some great music from my sound designers. The projects are piling, it's much easier to find new sound designer than a new composer. BUT, the music must be at least good as mine. Just trowing at you some thoughts...

I would say if you give them some really good music, at least on the level of the current music production for their games (or better), I don't see how could they say no, you are in-house guy, they will give you EVERY opportunity if you keep bringing higher quality stuff.

On the other hand, what do you consider a bad game? I would once say for the games that I am working on right now that they are crap...and they are crap... but people are playing those, whole market for that kind of stuff, and I am building my music production skills with that, I do a ton of music every year because of those games, and I am becoming better and better every day. You will not be able to do that if you do sound design all day every day.

You can post here some of your music, and maybe you can give us some reference to music in your company...also, maybe some of those bad games... then we can give you some real objective advises. Your situation is not a joke, and it's a tough decision.
