I am already currently working in quite a large organisation as a manager. The new job isstarting as a manager, but looking toward area within the year (Almost Gaurenteed). I mean almost because... they are literally just starting up. They have one outley (which looking at the figures does very well). They are looking at expanding fast and want me on board.
Do I stay with the already established company, knowing my job is safe, or, Start with this new one. With the higher wage, the scope to advance quicker, but has very little history??

A young, growing company can be a very exciting environment in which to work. You must think about what you can learn from the new experience. Even if that company doesn't work out, you will have added new experience.
Contrast that with the existing company - what will you learn and add to your experience in the same time. If the job stays the same, then move on. You must see what they have to offer, in terms of career progression.
Remember - NO job is safe, even in established companies

A lot depends on your situation with family, children, house etc. If you are thought of enough to be headhunted the odds are you are good at your job therefore if you take the new position and it doesn't work out other work may be easy(ish) to find.
At the end of the day it's down to you and all major corporations started somewhere. Do your research and make the right choice!! By the way does this new company need any IT Support staff?!?!? Good Luck

Depends on your commitments and responsibilities aswell as your personality and ambitions. Tread with caution if necessary but don't be afrasid to take risks, remember ... "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming WOW What a Ride!"

Go for more money,
the worst that could happen is your CV now says you more important than before
keep an eye out for the new company going tit up! get a new job when that comes round the corner.

you only live once ...take a risk now and then...and the new company might do very well ..then think where you will be in a few years time.....top of the heap...and if you stay in the job you are in now...it may be safe but you may be in the same place in ten years time regretting not taking the chance,,,go for it you only live once

Hearing your enthusiasm, you sound like an optimist - if you are young enough, should your new job fold, I reckon you'll bounce back "no worries" Good Luck with whatever you decide. There is a saying - Fortune smiles on the brave!!!!!!!!

Well if you’ve seen the funding and it looks ok go for the new job it will give you more experience, and if it doesn’t work out you could always get another job in the same field.

Speak to your boss and tell him the situation once you are sure that you are going to get the new position. Then if your boss offers you more to stay, it will put the whole thing into a different perspective.

Every new job carries a certain amount of risk - what you need to weigh up is "do the benefits out-weigh the risks". If they do, well then you should go for it. If they don't, then I would be more cautious.

Which will be the most fun?
Work should be about enjoyment as much as for money and security. Do the one you will enjoy most.
