Switch from development to Support

Question

I have total 8.5 years of experience as a developer. Recently I got an offer as application support analyst (no night shifts) in .net from a big MNC. Please let me know is it ok to switch from developer to app support role with almost 9 years development experience. Advice if we switch to app support and benifits and opportunities of application support? Do i get any further jobs in future if i take this option now???

Surya It depends what will be your responsibilities in new role if you will still be hands-on then there are no issues to have new job one after another. Else you might find it challenging. Its hard to say until you join what an organization will put you into. so do your research and proactively analyze the situation before you accept this new role. Its advisable to speak to manager of the team (HR Can arrange a phone call) and you can understand what team actually do and what will be your day-to-day responsibilities. Good Luck.
