HI, although I am still a newbe to Java, I do know something about contracts and have been a contractor myself. Your situation has to areas you need to be very clear about. 1) will company B sue you if you leave prior to your 2 year commitment and 2) can company A hire you if you have been a recent employee of company B. Often contracts are written to �lock the Tech In� so you can not move to the often much larger company.

The first approach I would take would be to make a case by showing my track record of good work done with company B. If they do not want to give you a raise, you have put them on notice you may leave. This will answer the question CAN you leave prior to your 2 year commitment IF you have one; IF not (no 2 year commitment) tell company A your thinking of leaving, let them make you an offer if they really want you. OR IF not (no 2 year commitment) look for totally new work in a direct company A situation,

In any case you must research what a TECH in your area with your EXPIRENCE is normally paid. Ask other consulting firms, and ask other TECHs in your area. Andy

I think the model should be the G model, as he looks the most like a real JAVA programmer. Like someone that is spaced out 90% of the time on doing programming till you drop !! I can identify with this concept.

My self I don't know my RAMS for my ROMS in the JAVA world ! I am new to all this and I am converting from a 30 year plus mainframe programmer to a JAVA developer as my company is making a grand conversion. My previous job has been out source to India and the kids they have doing it are having a wonderfuly hard time accomplishing the task. We are helping when and where we can but, with limited time it goes slowly.

All the other models look like regular people or models. Whereas model G looks like a programmer ! I will admit as green is my faviorte color I might have been swayed a little, but, you must admit that when one looks for a book on JAVA or general programming one wants to see someone that might have a cule as to where your going. It takes one but a glance to see the G model canidate is the choise ! He is sort of Geekie but, not totaly.
One must admit most of the book buying public are not going to be confortable with someone on the cover that looks like they never pulled an all night session trying to get a computer program to work in their life !

My vote is for model G and in Geek !
