Will they give you an in writing commitment of a year to a year and a half?

Dang firstdown..........we actually agree on something! :confused:
Just one thing to add...........Companies, especially the big ones, don't give a crap about you! Having you "verbally commit" is just a joke! One thing in the work place that always holds true..........................If its not in writing then it never happened. So technically, you haven't committed to nothing. You've only taken care of yourself so far. You know, going to College and making a buck on the side with a very sound company.
My advice, you should continue to take care of yourself. If this little company sounds like something thats better for you; so what! Go back on your "word" and tell the bigger company, "thanks, but no thanks" and move on. They'll have another intern doing the same thing within two weeks. Besides, Whats to say that this big company won't merge with another in the coming months? Or your company does its budget only to find that they can't afford to have your department no more? I've seen both of the above happen in the short time that I've been working.
I know those things can happen to the little one too, but my point is that you just can't be loyal to a company out there no more. They aren't loyal to you. Don't be loyal to them. Only take care of yourself. Thats my advice. Congrats on graduating college and Good Luck!
