I am a java guy. I got offers from 2 companies namely A and B.
A is a normal service based company and I will have java there.
B is a branded product based company with extremely good employee_friendly policies. But they use only fortran which i dont want to learn.
The B offered me 10+% more salary than the A. Even then my sub conscious asks me to take the job from A.
PS: In fact, succeeding the interview process of B itself is a great milestone in my life. On the other hand, Interview with A was a piece of cake to me.
If B had got java, i would have taken the job no matter what my salary is going to be. Because B is such a cool company.
However, only B use fortran and no other good company in my location, as far as my i know, use fortran. So, it maybe a dead end to my career.
Note: We all are after money. If somebody could give you more money, wouldn't you switch?

Your question doesn't really seem to be about tiny company vs. reputed company, but rather widely-used tech vs. little-used tech. Advice on which job to take is off-topic here, but my advice is: 10% more salary is not worth taking your career into a dead-end. Unless you are willing to specialize in Fortran and risk focusing on something few people use in your area, don't go that way just for a little more money now.

You are right on the mark. Fortran is a dead end. It is not a skill that you are going to be able to use in many places at all.
You can't get too focused on 'cool company' because a 'cool company' can go bankrupt overnight, and then you are stuck.

Every language comes with distinct paradigms and tools. I don't see how learning FORTRAN could be bad for his career.

Zip over to DICE.com and compare how many jobs asking for FORTRAN there are compared to how many there are for Java. Learning FORTRAN? Nothing wrong with that. Trying to put food on the table, in the long term? Fat chance.

@Spidey I am not looking for arguements against fortran. In fact the language used in the company is not fortran, it's a out-of-date language like fortran. I did not want to disclose the real langauge and get caught by the potential empolyer hence the masking. Btw the company discussed here was my dream company during my college days. Now i've got a chance and not be able to make it :(
